“[Dunn is] a dance man of prodigal invention. He puts more beautiful and unusual dancing into the hour than most [choreographers] can produce in several years.” Deborah Jowitt, Village Voice
“He uses a wide range of movement but deploys it with a seemingly casual ease which hides the care that must go into giving each piece a unique atmosphere.” London Times
“Douglas Dunn…has consistently remained one of the most interesting choreographers.” Alan Kriegsman, The Washington Post
“Astringent, but never abrasive, it’s like fire on ice—impossibly beautiful and always in the process of disappearing before your very eyes.” Time Out, London
“Inside and outside, Douglas Dunn’s performance art is real dance.” Democrat & Chronicle, Rochester, NY
“Plunging with Rabelaisian gusto into a wide-swinging series of turns and lunges, Mr. Dunn was always fascinating.” Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times
“He creates effectively intimate movements between dancers that are almost always surprising in their changeability, with tenderness dissolving into aggressiveness and minimal movements bursting into speed.” Mike Steele, Minneapolis Star Tribune
“Dunn has succeeded by creating a sort of Dada for the ‘90s, full of humor and good-natured anarchy, yet laced throughout with irony and pathos.” The Sunday Oregonian
“Exquisite moves and gestures are tucked almost casually into the fabric of the dance.” Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times
“Through myriad solos and duets—some hilarious, others sublimely beautiful—Dunn establishes indelible images of men and women together.” The Washington Post
“Intricately
agile choreography…filled with elegance, energy and even the
eccentricities of sly humor. Dunn himself is one of those mesmerizing
performers whose sheer presence is a compelling force.” Time Out, London |
