PRESS
“…energy was high, the gestures crisp, and the partnering bold…a strong sense of aesthetic purpose…”
Dance Magazine
““Desire’ is full of duets but they never look like a showcase—and the resulting sense of play is delightful and stimulating…with stellar dancing and fast moving choreography in the excellent world premiere…”
Gay City News
“The later works were full of feeling, too, but the feelings seemed more complex, ambiguous, marked with the tension of give and take. That couldn’t have been more true than in the first section of Mills’ ‘Desire/Three Movements,'”
