Allyson
Green Dance expands the boundaries of a highly refined vocabulary,
part expressive and part abstract, to translate emotion directly
into focused movement. Merging a strong visual design sensibility
with articulate, passionate dancing, Allyson seeks to create theater
that is intimate, physical and engaged in human relationships. Her
work has been noted for virtuosic dancing framed in a visual landscape
that integrates original music, elegant lighting and vivid set designs.
"Ms.
Green always tugged one back into the stream of dance
with her sure and daring sense of theater."
Jennifer Dunning,
The New York Times
"Green
distills, abstracts and transforms real-life events into
virtuosic
art.
The essence of her work is a poignant, fragile
beauty..."
Tom Strini,
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"Splendid dancing was a feature
of this performance.
The whole concert radiated with the tenderness
and aliveness with which
we sometimes wake from dreams, or perhaps
sense just at the edge of death."
Deborah Jowitt,
The Village Voice
"Allyson Green makes radiant, compassionate dances about big subjects.
[The] works are marked by gorgeous, inventive choreography
and splendid performances."
- Janice Steinberg, The San Diego Union-Tribune
Green's recent "Dancing to Beethoven" created for La Jolla SummerFest 2005 was noted as "a sold-out hit fringe event that should become a festival staple."
- Jennifer de Poyen, of the San Diego Union Tribune
"Light suffuses Allyson Green's latest dances. That's partly because Green collaborated with video and light artists, but even more, it's a sign of her luminous artistic vision. This is work of great lucidity -
and maturity, its ideas complex and nuanced
- and beautifully danced."
- Janice Steinberg, The San Diego Union-Tribune
