 expressive medium.”

“The most striking piece on program A was Colin Connor’s Streets and Legends… Fascinating”.   

Jack Anderson, The New York Times

“Crowd pleasing in the best sense.  It’s vital.  It communicates.”                 

Roy Proctor, Richmond Times-Dispatch

“These dancers looked like rugged youths and yet danced with a maturity that is imbued by living amongst a people with a long history. What he did worked.”

Tim Martin, Dance Europe

 “Connor conveys a sense of being swept away by currents of water, or reaching out in every direction and being pulled back… it was a mesmerizing and beautiful flow of canon-like sequences.”

Johnette Rodriguez, The Phoenix

“A work both majestic and elegiac…The power of News Falls Like Rain is that it has the ability to evoke some of the reality of our own lives.” 

Bill Gale National Public Radio

“An audience favorite from choreographer Colin Connor… Nothing short of hypnotic..."

John White, Spectrum, Richmond, VA

“The work builds in intensity, dancers falling and rising and gradually seeming to become lighter… breaking through the trappings of prosperity to the sources of our power and elegance… He opens up a world of ideas, and that world has a daunting circumference.”

Julinda Lewis-Ferguson, Richmond Free Press

“Clearly the strongest artistic creation.  Full Sail captured the primal pulse of nature.”

“Colin Connor’s Recent Arrivals made a particularly strong impression…  They could have been immigrants eagerly awaiting life in a new country or exiles forever barred from their homeland”.

Jack Anderson, The New York Times

“His work marries the best elements of classical form with the freedom and expressiveness of modern dance… The overall feeling for the observer is one of exhilaration and awakening.”

Leona Baker, Style Weekly

“The way times change but families remain the same... overlapping periods of time, using some Dadaistic devices in hopes of re-routing our search for continuity and logic. What The Waitress Saw is a dance with an idea.”

Marcia B. Siegel, The Boston Globe

“a fascinating, scintillating, tour de force. Simply put, it is exquisite.”

Sandra Matuschka, The Newport Daily News
