“In ‘Quick Silver,’ Mr. Murobushi does indeed show an extensive ability to move extremely slowly or extremely fast, to hold a position for a length of time and then change it by infinitesimal motion. And he conforms to other notions about Butoh: for much of the solo he is almost naked, his body and head covered in light gold paint; his physical presence seems more animal than human, any vestige of personality stripped to something more elemental.” – Roslyn Sulcas, “Japanese Form Mixes Discipline and the Elemental”, The New York Times, 2009
Press Quote – Dance International, Seesaw by Mari Osanai, NYBF 2009
“She is simply breathtaking, possessing a supple body that seems to have no spine, yet is anchored on a steel spike of consummate control. She is inspired by the natural elements, and her slow, methodical, yet radiantly beautiful explorations of physicality take her dance to a higher plane.” – Dance International
Press Quote – The New York Times, Ruined Body by Daisuke Yoshimoto, NYBF 2009
“…his long gray hair fanned around his wild, heavily made-up eyes, and his body became a heaving, hyperarticulated landscape shifting against jarringly spliced music. It was easy to forget that this spooky, otherworldly creature was human.” Claudia La Rocco, The New York Times
