BWW Review: Alpha Omega Burns with DeJesus, Flatlines in Pomare
by Juan Michael Porter II - November 26, 2019
The company soared in DeJesus' soulful pas de deux from 'Bittersweet'. Perhaps it was Oleta Adams' stirring voice, or maybe it was a relief after having finished Tabernacle, but Mayzik was nothing short of amazing in this sexy pas de deux with Sarita Apel.

BWW Review: THE GREAT TAMER at BAM
by Wesley Doucette - November 25, 2019
Throughout The Great Tamer, choreographer Dimitris Papaioannou makes his audience witness violent absences, ponderous stillness, and tender presence. The entirety of the human experience, from sublime to mundane, and from the curious to the apathetic, finds space on the stage. All of these events yearn for human connection and charm with a witty human touch. While The Great Tamer lacks the symphonic seamlessness of its inspirations-Wilson and Bausch-it leaves me wondering if the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, as the surrealist menagerie on stage sets the imagination spinning.
