"
All were sensational
in Green's dark and dreamy
"Four Voices, Inside Out"

expression, dense with steps and gestures and
enormously sophisticated in structure."
- The Journal Sentinel
Paragraphs on Wind
(Seven dancers 30 min.)
Original Music by Guy Yarden

Chosen for the New York Bagnolet Platform.
"A

convey the life of a tribe and its individuals;
adrift these people may be, but their created culture is rich, complex,
and full of beauty"
- The Village Voice
"Paul Dresher created a boundless, exuberant aural landscape
for nine dancers
to journey through in Ms. Green's new, "In the Name."
-The
New York Times
"A meditation on
refugees, the dance to Paul Dresher's
exquisite Concerto for Violin and Electro-Acoustic Band,
is subtle and profound. "
- Milwaukee Sentinel
