“Entomological eroticism… as essay in movement invention.  In this intriguing and insistent whirlpool of dance…the familiar had been made to look strange, the commonplace transformed into a glistening fantasy.  If you think a cockroach can’t look exotic, you obviously haven’t seen Counterswarm.” – Anna Kisselgoff, New York Times
