"a powerful and thought-provoking concert ... They wrestle, hassle, bully and show off to one another in a series of fragmented activities that often mutate into something else" -- Linda Shapiro/ Pioneer Press
"Daring, eccentric... the sensuality, the tenderness, the sense of adventure seem intrinsic to the moment and anchored to life."

"Umm. Delicious! Vibrant - Force fields yield images glimmering like our own recollections. It is dancing - rich and full and beautifully designed - but it has the shape of a world" - Deborah Jowitt, Village Voice
First commissioned by the Estonian National Opera.
"Enthralling"-Deborah Jowitt, Village Voice
At once witty, dark, furious -- Dust moves through imagery from magical sideshow and brooding solos to violent duets and intricate groups, in a world transformed by objects and materials - floating in the air, around onstage and layered on the floor - a jigsaw puzzle of body parts and sublime juxtaposition.

"a through-the-looking-glass site for quick-cut vignettes: love scenes, random anecdotes, knockabout comedy. The extroverted cast danced all over the space, all over each other, and up the walls."-- New York Times

"Cracker jack ensemble performing extreme dance theater of the absurd... Utterly whacky inventions." - Eva Yaa Asantewaa, Village Voice
" Irresistible - like gazing at someone else's family album and understanding it could be your own "- Deborah Jowitt, Village Voice
A meditative and haunting journey through dreamscapes and fantasy - private and mythic. Featuring a visual design of projected video, this work was born during a extended visit made to Venezuela, to taste life where the jungle meets the Caribbean Ocean.
"Veiling is a wonderful dance - moody, mysterious, hauntingly expressive. ...Even in its abstraction, the work is intensely human. It's summed up in a terrific men's duet that is full of pushes and pulls, tensions and releases, roughhouse and tenderness." - Mike Steele, Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Terrifically interesting ...the reckless physicality, the sensual mingling of bodies, the unusual gestures that characterize Young's style, and the performers' alert and tranquil air..." - Deborah Jowitt, Village Voice

...strips down to the essential body in motion while building up the color and in-your-face quality of each performer's individual personality and stage presence as a performer. The work looks at their private and public personas, what they become in relationships, and where their particularities intersect or diverge. The aspects of exaggerated individuality and collaborative reality. .
"The marvelous performers together create something ineffably magical... it slips about the way dreams do. Imagination and wit run hand in hand with beauty - lose and gain, fall down and get up, run some more."
