Doug Varone and Dancers command attention as soon as the curtain goes up. Rarely do you find a choreographer so dedicated to the full and generous complexity of the human spirit. Many choreographers can create interesting movement; few can make it mean so much.
– Chicago Tribune
An exceptionally fluent dancemaker. There’s an emotional breadth sometimes missing from so many other greats in modern dance. Varone puts the beating heart at the center of the work.
– Washington Post
He layers his dances with complex and sophisticated phrasing of urgent and vigorous momentum, rather than conventional storytelling. He makes his eight dancers look like three times that number.
– LA Times
An evening of Doug Varone’s choreography is a feast of tens of thousands of individual moments, from the intricate to the mundane, from the witty to the emotionally charged. Wonderfully inventive. Exhilarating.
– Kansas City Star
