"Arvanites' riveting 'Descent' is a gorgeously fluid yet muscular trio for men that reflects the inner conflict within one personality. There is a dizzying blur of lyrical spins, athletic lifts and leaps, falls and recoveries as the three men split apart time and again, only to reunite in various configurations." (The Boston Herald) "The second [La Giornata Omicida] casts five cookie-cutterwomen in a romping, stomping tour de force that veers between a celebration of girl power and a critique of the ideals of feminine beauty. The movement doubles as the score, as the dancers execute regimented rhythms and crack time into myriad beats." (The Boston Globe) End
