—Clive Barnes, New York Post“The evening ended with MiddleSexGorge, a kinesthetically riotous and dazzling danced piece from 1990 to music by the British post-punk band Wire, neatly suggesting gender equality underlined by dance brilliance.”
—Susan Reiter, Newsday“…the volatile, sensual MiddleSexGorge… is full of intriguing confrontations between leggy postmodern bathing beauties…and compact men…the heart of the work lies in trios and quartets whose clustered dancers offer one another support. It’s never clear from one moment to the next, which body will cede control, and be manipulated by the others.”
