"The composers and choreographers work all summer...the culmination of their work is always new, fresh and cool."
—SF Chronicle, 9/07
"Music and Dance supposedly are natural partners, but often the match doesn’t work. Either the choreographer doesn’t respect the music’s
independent character or musicians don’t realize that dance needs to have its own breathing space. So they hobble along together, neither of them responsive to the other’s needs. NOT SO with “COLLABORATION! Dance & Music.”
—Rita Felciano, SF Bay Guardian, 9/06
"It’s a little like getting fed by Iron Chef: teams of choreographers and composers, dancers and musicians, serve up their best efforts—and quick. Short dances flash by, many brilliant, with live music for each. giving us a chance to see what the up-and-coming have been up to."
—Paul Parish, SF Magazine, Best Fall Arts Tix, 9/05
