"Together and Apart: Nugent + Matteson get mysterious, enjoy block shoes"

"Jennifer Nugent and Paul Matteson are nothing like the sleek couples of ballet who often look as though they'd been bred to channel petty royalty.

"Playing With Momentum in a Range of Physical Tests"

""Pieced Apart," their new collection of four works being performed at Danspace Project, seems to be an attempt to move beyond the myths, real or imagined, but it doesn't entirely succeed." Read review...
