Overview

Danny Grossman's choreography displays "a well-developed sense of good-natured fun and witty frolic, an angular disjointedness, and an arresting physicality and sense of danger.There's something of the circus, of folk entertainment, of street movement, in [Grossman's] work - a grassroots innocence that gives a direct, uncomplicated impact and accessibility to his dances."
~Max Wyman, dance critic
