I'm one of those "dance isn't really my thing" guys. However if more dance ensembles put on shows like this one, I would be a convert. All of the components, the excellent and enthusiastic performers, the use of dialogue, props, and good music made this a much less sterile experience than traditional modern dance that I have seen. Each of the vignettes was a discernbile story, and while me and my partner debated the actual meanings/interpretations it was worth debating. Go see it!

Your first goal for 2007 should be too see this show! No words to describe the beauty and talent of these preformers and this show. Do yourself a favor and put this show at the very top of your list. Skip everything else and see this first!

You’ll Have Found a Winner If You Attend

Great original dance performance! A nice change from solo pieces that are a large part of this year’s Fringe. The audience is “engaged” for part of the performance, but it doesn’t seem forced when this occurs and a dancer goes into the crowd. The energy is high. Keep scanning the whole stage (and the audience) during the production, or you may miss something. Each performer is a unique character. Not quite the girls next door (though you think, 'the neighborhood would be livelier') This isn’t a “cookie cutter” dance troupe, with everyone looking the same, within 1 inch of height and 15 ounces of one another. I would have liked the performance go on even longer.

Wow. I was absolutely floored and enthralled through-out this beautiful performance. A celebration of body language, as expressed through dance and ASL, playing off of the themes of lost items & lists of aspirations. It's an amazing celebration of the fleeting and the hopeful. Look no further for 'Best of the Fringe'.

Beautiful! Great music and choreography. I'm not too partial to dance, but I was moved by the performers. They flowed with the music; they were the music. The energy was positive and strong. Weaving found objects and other visual props with dance was creative and made for an accessible show for all to enjoy. Not to be missed!

I've seen a fair share of dance shows and this ranks up there with the best. Not necessarily in technique, but definitely for originality and the MUSIC!! I find usually dance pieces have music that is so obscure and without beat that I'm thinking - wait, how are they dancing to this? Not true with inFlux - GREAT music. Also, I loved that each dancer represented a different breed of woman AND, I hate to say this, but I'm so happy that we had some NORMAL bodies up there. Dance shows usually involve moving sticks and it was nice to see some thighs. The pieces were incredibly original (look out for the KEYS!!) and gripping. And the mixture of ASL and spoken word was fascinating too. They only have one show left, I think - don't miss out!

Remarkable. Technically precise (and sometimes frenetic) movement during which theatrical expression was continuously maintained. This is pretty rare stuff. Lighthearted, its subject matter the mundane but not at all insipid--it's a thoughtful lightness, varied, amusing, moving, hypnotic. Polyrhythmic--often many distinct, well-composed ongoing events at once. And the sign language is magnificent, fully a part of the dance. Nothing sloppy, plenty beautiful. Reduced to writing in fragments.

Just to add my voice to the chorus ( and I wish I knew how to sign that ) this is a brilliantly conceived and executed program. Enjoyable and uplifting. Go see it now.

JUST PLAIN BEAUTIFUL! I really wish I had more to say about this show. But anytime anyone asked about this show all I could say was "Beautiful!" I mean not only the dancing, not only the performers, not only the stories, not only the music, not only the ASL; the whole package comes together in pure Beauty. I fell in love with this group at the opening night party, and now I plan to stalk each and every one of these Rockers. Okay maybe not. Maybe I will just send as many people to see their show as possible. Hey, I guess I had more to say about this show after-all.

Wonderfully conceived. The dance is beautifully executed and full of emotion. The characters are interesting, amusing, and, at times, compelling. Excellent job.

Fabulously original piece! Unlike some dance shows that i've seem where the focus is predominantly on the body from the neck down, this show sucks you in with its quirky characters, amazing use of props and fantastic music and choreography that definitely kept me on the edge of my seat for the entire show. See these talented out-of-towners while you still can!!!!

This is a modern dance piece featuring an ensemble of five women dancers. Instead of being heavy and dark like most modern dance, it had a definite sense of whimsy. It was structured around spoken and signed exchanges about real life found items and notes.

The show opened with a fantastic dance piece featuring chalk squares on the stage. Another great bit involved lost keys, but I won't spoil what happens.

The dancers are great, they break down the fourth wall to play with the audience and they keep things light and moving. Dance is usually under-represented at the Fringe Festival, so definitely see this one to encourage more movement pieces in the Festival.

Beautifully danced. Loved how they based it on found objects, like notes, lists, etc. The characters and their interactions were compelling. The sign language aspect was intriguing. Funny, fascinating & lovely.
