“a mini-masterpiece of choreographic craft”
“The evening's most breathtaking... A hypnotic piece from first image to last.”
“...the gleaming white rectangles, in a variety of lengths, recall the movable pedestals of 1930s modern dance. But Ms. Lang uses them in ingenious ways...”
“There is much to commend this young choreographer ... Lang made work so architecturally precise, yet so rewarding of classical dance technique, that I really felt I had finally seen something new.”
“To Familiar Spaces in Dream could be described as a deconstructionist ballet that explores space, forms, and movements from a variety of dance genres and even other art forms.”
“Lang's choreography built a deepening emotional current that, by the end, appeared to engulf dancers and stage”
