What the Media Says
"In her works, visual images become still photographs that capture and freeze certain universal truths...Her exploration in dance of the human experience both reflects and engenders a profound humanity. Because her dances are about people and life experience, often moving from the autobiographical to the universal, they hold immediate appeal."
"…kinetic angels innocent of gravity's mortal tug. They fly, deft and agile, through fast-shifting shapes, riding the currents of movement."
"Among the most articulate advocates for dance, Ms. Dorfman established herself early on as an emissary for the modern dance aesthetic, seeking to engage audiences by speaking to them directly and dispelling some of the mystique that once kept people away from modern dance."
"The youthful company somehow manages to accomplish more in a 45-minute preview than some companies can in several hours."
"While informality decorated the surface of the dance, a solid structure kept it anchored… This was dancemaking of great sophistication"
"While on most theatrical stages, it is the performers who are foremost in our thoughts…at The Yard, Carolyn Dorfman's spirit was as present as her dancers. They became the instruments upon which her score was played through four exceptional dance pieces."
"Dorfman's works are engaging, intelligent dances that deserve a wider audience... the company effortlessly pulled us into Ms. Dorfman's war between fantasy and reality...wonderfully astute choreography..."
