New Reviews: The New York Times, The New Yorker and Dance Magazine

“A dance like Keith Haring come to life.”– Andrew Boynton, The New Yorker

“On Friday evening the company returned to the Joyce SoHo with “4,” the first section of an evening-length work set to Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons.” In the piece — devoted to the stormy “Summer” section — Megan Alfonso and Adaku Utah share the stage, demonstrating how movement can switch from crisp to balmy at a moment’s notice. The tools of hip-hop, which cause a body to break down and build back up again, give the familiar music a playful edge, even though the dancers aren’t playing around.”–Gia Kourlas, The New York Times
