"Barnard Project review"

"When you hear that The Barnard Project is a collaboration between Barnard dance students and professional choreographers, if you are honest with yourself, you probably expect to see bland choreography that emphasizes classroom exercises executed by eager if not experienced dancers. If that is your expectation then Dance Theater Workshop's presentation is a delightful surprise." Read review...

"Youth, Slow And Fast"

"Despite stark content differences, structuralists and semiologists could equally love the works of Beth Gill and Daniel Linehan...For Gill's wholly fascinating quartet "Eleanor & Eleanor," the artist frames the space with two-and-a-half quasi-Islamic floating arches made of white electrical casing, designed by Jeff Larson...Daniel Linehan, on the other hand, employs incessant repetition as his choreographic anchor, tapping in to the sign of the circle self-placed at center."

"Space Flights: Two imaginative young choreographers test boundaries"

"In their shared program, Beth Gill and Daniel Linehan force us to experience space--its emptiness, its fullness-- both visually and sensually, and to feel the weight and passage of time. Both have been choreographing for only a few years, but the intelligence and daring with which they explore their ideas make a lot of the dances that we see today look unconsidered." Read review...

"Beth Gill & Daniel Linehan"

"My body is buzzing. A strange electrical current runs through. I've seen and experienced a very full and alive evening of dance....Beth Gill's Eleanor & Eleanor and Daniel Linehan's Not About Everything take me on a physical journey during their split bill performance at DTW." Read review...

"Reveling in the Stillness, Puzzling Over the Self"

"In "Eleanor & Eleanor," which opened a split bill at Dance Theater Workshop on Wednesday, Ms. Gill framed the back of the stage with delicate white arches, forming a space within a space. Everything reverberated in this hushed room, variously occupied by three women and a man. When Eleanor Hullihan and Danielle Goldman turned on their sides, offering the audience their backs and hips, the deliberateness of the action had the familiar resonance of turning away from a lover."

"Duped! Beth Gill experiments with transcendent body doubles"

"Beth Gill began her meticulous new quartet, Eleanor & Eleanor, by carefully considering the space it would inhabit: the cavernous, boxy stage of Dance Theater Workshop, where, as she noted after a recent rehearsal, the pitched angle of the audience to the stage theatricalizes everything--like it or not."

"It is a performance of a conversation between two men and two cultures, a live documentary on forms of dance and dance making. The men, and the performance itself, ask questions about the nature of performance and the role of art in 2007." Read review...

Oct 23 - Oct 27, Oct 30 - Nov 3 at 7:30pm

"David Neumann's "feedforward" at Dance Theater Workshop is curious about big life dramas: human triumph and downfall. Neumann takes them on by looking at micro-moments, and shows the grace of success and the agony of failure bumping up against each other in small, particular interactions and affectations, over and over, in tangled loops and knotting."
