STEPHEN PETRONIO COMPANY has recently completed an exciting and tremendously successful NY Season at
The Joyce Theater, March 6 – 11 featuring the World Premiere of THE ARCHITECTURE OF LOSS, Stephen Petronio performing Steve Paxton’s INTRAVENOUS LECTURE, Guest Artist Wendy Whelan performing the solo ETHERSKETCH I, and a revival of the acclaimed 2002 CITY OF TWIST.

The Architecture of Loss is “disturbingly beautiful…” In ETHERSKETCH I, Wendy Whelan “aces [Petronio's] sweeping leg gestures and yanked-off-center stances and sinuous flow…”
- Deborah Jowitt, Arts Journal

“The Architecture of Loss…presents the perfect integration of movement, scenic design and costuming.”
- Eva Yaa Asantewaa, InfiniteBody

“…deeply felt, soul-sharing artwork of physical and spiritual grace…the dancers forged in the heat of Petronio’s furnace keep impressing”
- Quinn Batson, Offoffoff.com
