Four completely sold out shows and a few busted piñatas later, we could not have been more thrilled with the premiere of Double Exposure at ODC Theater. Check out what the critics are saying about this epic production that was two years in the making and four years in the imagining:
4/5 Stars from critic Claudia Bauer, via Dance Tabs: “The real reveal of Double Exposure is not an index of the West Coast choreographic point of view – if anything, this unscientific sample shows how nose-thumbingly motley our contemporary dance scene is – but the intelligence and versatility of Smith and Rein as artists. Few dancers could conjure two-minute universes that range from hard-hitting (Johnston) to cerebral (Holt) to lyrics-driven (Seiwert) and make you believe each one; perhaps only these two would even try.”
Review by Heather Desaulniers, via Critical Dance (and Heather’s Dance Commentary blog): “Any discussion of RAWdance’s Double Exposure cannot conclude without mentioning Smith and Rein’s radiant performance. The pair moved through thirteen varied duets with such grace, confidence, rigor and strength – all in, all the time. Phenomenal dancers; gifted communicators; accomplished artists. Double Exposure is a definitive tour de force.”
