RIDDLES to Threepenny Suite by Kurt Weil, commissioned for the company debut in Paris. "Kurt Weill's cantankerous music provides the boxing ring in which a battle of the sexes comes to a hilarious draw." Columbia Specter WRITTEN ON THE WIND Enigmatic, unusual telling of a short story in movement and theater convention about a winner take all where the woman has the final word. "Dazzling in its peculiarity!" Edinburgh Festivals Magazine WEAVING "BOTH men and WOMEN display their power with their physicality and athleticism...the audience is left eager for more. Laurin Campbell The Skinny, Edinburgh, UK Danced by "powerhouse Michael Mao Dancers, Weaving is a strong, feisty work, combining pounding drums with a multicultural sensibility, driving towards a strong sense of conclusion. Mao's dancers move with a lithe assuredness, creating tension and drama as well as some beautiful shapes.Caroline Whitham. Edinburgh Festivals Magazine Celebrating 25th anniversary of 1994-DSCH is "a STUNNING work with edgy, off-balance choreography...running, stumbling, escaping hot pursuit...wide-eyed at the very parapet of desperation...Mao's MAD DASH TOWARD FREEDOM..." Chelsea Clinton News "SPLENDID dancers." New York Times "EXQUISITE work" Village Voice. "DAZZLING" Edinburgh Festivals Magazine. "HILARIOUS" Columbia Specter. "BRILLIANT" Oslo Afterposten. "EXTRAORDINARY" Kosovo Sot "SUBLIME" Ulster County Townsman https://michaelmaodance.org/Michael_Mao_Dance/PRESS.html
