“...chilling, thrilling rawness.”
— The New York Times
“A hauntingly intimate piece that packs an emotional punch, A Study on Effort showcases an incredible collaboration between choreographer and musician.”
— New York Theatre Review
“...an intimate meditation of feminine strength and sexuality.”— Toronto Globe and Mail
“In a series of vignettes, Smith and GoGwilt explored the extremes of their bodies…[they] created a visceral viewing experience for audience members who appeared to be glued to their seats in the shared experience of the exertion exhibited by both performers.”
— Dance Current
