ARDC Reviews

"Delving deeply into the heart and soul of modern dance classics, American Repertory Dance Company's program of reconstructed solos at the Getty Center proved once more the timeless power of simplicity coupled with excellence."
Online Review Dance Magazine, August 1999

"Bonnie Oda Homsey became a sinister yet grotesquely alluring sorceress in Mary Wigman's Hexentanz (Witch Dance) of 1926, one of the most celebrated solos of German Expressionist dance."
New York Times, October 1999

"You don't have to be a dancer or love to dance, or even know anything about dancing in order to enjoy [ARDC's] show that is performed by extraordinary artists and choreographed by legendary geniuses."
Santa Barbara Press, January 2000

Los Angeles Times Year in Review highlights: "Linked to an exhibition of dance photographs, this was an eight-part program of modern dance treasures...Later in the year, [ARDC] hired a drag diva [Richard Move] for a splashy outdoor event, but nothing eclipsed the level of artistry here."
Los Angeles Times, December 1999

"Each time the Los Angeles-based American Repertory Dance Company performs, it is an unrivaled treat."
Orange County Register

"For its 1998 season, American Repertory Dance Company performed several works [by Michio Ito], all painstakingly reconstructed under the direction of Ito's former pupil Taeko Furusho. Bonnie Homsey and her troupe won two coveted Lester Horton Dance Awards for recreating the evanescent magic of the legendary dance-poet."
Ballet Review, Spring 2000

"Rehearsal studio of Conjunctive Points Dance Center in California. Bonnie Oda Homsey, former Graham soloist and head of the American Repertory Dance Company, tries to slip into Dore Hoyer's skin. The Opfertanz from Wigman's "Sacre" which has slumbered for over 40 years...comes struggling to the surface."
