PRESS

“With Care poses [questions] of... how we relate with and care for each other in an injurious world; how we love and accommodate and seek slivers of solace when true understanding remains impossible... so eloquently did they probe the struggle between presentation of an ideal form and the fallibilities of flesh”

   — The Boston Musical Intelligencer

“Smith’s choreography finds poetry in tension, while GoGwilt’s violin is both a tether and a counterpoint, illustrating a dialogue of fragility and strength.”

   — Brooklyn Rail

“a deeply intimate exploration of care, effort, and vulnerability, with the interplay of movement and music creating an arresting emotional landscape.”

   — Dance Magazine

“a haunting meditation on human connection, magnified by the intricate physicality and live soundscape.”

   — KQED

“Smith and GoGwilt’s artistic trust shines through in every moment, transforming effort into something tender and transcendent”

   — San Diego Union-Tribune
