“The Best
of 2001 – Speaking Without Words” by Sylviane Gold of Newsday
named B/FD a top ten dance moment of the year. Company performances also
received accolades in Lisa Jo Sagolla’s “Highlights 2001”
for Backstage. The cover of Dance Teacher magazine,
December 2001, exhibited striking photos of the Company by Eduardo Patino
with a feature article by Iris Dorbian. Exclusive “Step by Step”
partnering combinations appeared in this issue with Mécène
and Predmore and in January 2002 with Orihara and Pier. Thank you Julie
Davis and Caitlin Simms.

The dances, by Buglisi and Foreman, provide
connection for the brain, comfort for the soul. Is there a better reason
to leave the house these days?

“Requiem,”
a stunning new piece by Buglisi, is typical of the creative breakthrough
achieved by this husband and wife team in the last three years… gripping
and sustained images… rapturously danced. (Anna Kisselgoff,
NY Times)

One of the pleasures in watching Buglisi/Foreman
…is the perspective these two choreographers have on human nature.
While much of the world and human behavior may often seem base and ugly,
these two disciples of Martha Graham make dances that dignify the body with
good ideas. (Francis Mason, WQXR: The World of
Dance) |

… the most imaginative creative
voices in American modern dance. Buglisi and Foreman have come from Graham
roots; yet, they have eased out from under the great woman’s legacy
to become significant creators on their own. They both have superb taste,
and a level of professional intelligence that continually uncovers tasty
new ingredients, like the sprightly composer Lisa DeSpain. (Phyllis
Goldman, BackStage) |

… substance, power and restraint…superb
performers (Sylviane Gold, Newsday) |

The witty beat and slippery slides of
Ms. DeSpain's music in "Lisa D." were captured
by the Cassatt String Quartet…engaging … light and well structured
(Anna Kisselgoff, New York Times)

We can't thank you enough for a truly
inspiring week at the Joyce and such a rewarding collaboration for us. It
is a joy to work with all of you; your ingenuity and grace has made our
time on stage with you a highlight of our year.

Lisa D.…a
jubilant romp for three men (Walter Cinquinella, Stephen Pier and Kevin
Predmore) and one woman, Virginie Mécène… a petite and
quicksilver figure…driven by the jazzy and full-bodied score…
(Michael Fressola, Staten Island Live) |

…Foreman’s “Dances
for Seven”… a rapturous emotional statement in the
blink of an eye… (Susan Yung, The Dance
Insider) |
|

|
|

One of the recurring themes I see in Donlin’s
approach to this piece [Dances for Seven] is that these
are not dances, but conversations.
