Bud Suite/Bloom/Lareign
Bloom, as befits its title, grows and expands into a kind of ecstasy...This is a rich, constantly changing work, with the voices spurring it on, pooling into quiet, lifting it higher." -Deborah Jowitt, The Village Voice. "Stephen Petronio has offered us a precious gift with his latest creation
Bloom: hope...Petronio's dancers displayed the speed and frenetic quality that they've become known for. In the process they achieved an organic whole that was both refreshing and uplifting." "Bud Suite accelerates as it grows, until the final movement, when the stage erupts in a rush of entrances and exits and electric partnering." -Lise Friedman, ELLE. "
Lareigne stays almost numbingly at a boil, rarely dropping to a simmer, except for moments when individuals solo through a grove of motionless others as if this were a fevered chess game-God, the beauty of the dancers, the ease of their intensity!" - Debrorah Jowitt, The Village Voice "...a heroically beautiful figure, seeming to float through fierce bursts of swirling, dynamic movement. Seven others join in, shot forth so deftly that at times they seem like dozens, their lashing limbs and unfurling torsos expressing infinite possibilities. The beauty of their shapes and the wafting white fabric of the sexy costumes (designed by Manolo) evoke a serene, but perhaps deceptive, coolness." - Susan Reiter, Newsday
