"Daniel McCusker’s ravishingly pure dances might be best described as brief epics, since they tell you a whole lot in a little time."
— Theodore Bale, Boston Herald, 2006
“Top Ten Dances of 2003”
— Christine Temin, Boston Globe
“Daniel McCusker’s long-limbed geometrical dances fairly burst with heart.… That’s because their rigorous structure, their edgy dynamics, and their idiosyncratic gestures permit them to show rather than tell their stories, as the best novelists do. … [His] creations… are abstract, nearly pristine. Their emotional content, drawn from some of the grand themes -– loss, love, hope –- arise from how the dancers use McCusker’s shapes and traffic to communicate with one another.”
— Thea Singer, Boston Globe, 2003
“Without any publicity or ideology, he has built a multi-generational company, one where teenagers he trained in Maine perform side-by-side with seasoned professionals.”
— Debra Cash, Boston Globe, 1999

More information
Three of Boston’s leading dance companies present world premiere works as well as signature repertory pieces. Choreographer Caitlin Corbett juxtaposes the sublime beauty of everyday movement with the innovation of contemporary dance. Daniel McCusker’s ravishingly pure dances combine rigorous geometrical structure, edgy dynamics and idiosyncratic gestures to demonstrate stories filled with intense emotional content. Kelley Donovan & Dancers create dynamic movement rich in imagery that viscerally expresses transformation by exploring the gray area between the extremes of purely classical modern dance and theatrical narrative.
Free preperformance talk with dance critic Debra Cash. 20-minute talks begin 45 minutes prior to each performance.
