Featured Press
“Managed to produce sincere, personal works year after year for two decades—no small feat.”
—The New Yorker
“A master at illustrating the symbiosis of sound and movement, the romance of motion and emotion”
—Inside New York
“Choreographically, Amanda’s point of departure is not an image or a gesture, but a theatrical imperative felt in her insistence on expression.”
—Jacob’s Pillow Dance
“Ms. Selwyn has her own voice, she speaks from a place within the heart, she is unafraid to peer into the corners of one’s soul. . . she expresses with movement that which cannot be said in words.”
—NYC Dance Stuff

Time Out New York | “Amanda Selwyn and company reflect on their 25-year history with a new evening-length piece, Awaken, that incorporates fragments and motifs from earlier works in their repertory as well as athletic new choreography. A running theme is the difficulty of maintaining one’s balance amid the constant modern flow of fleeting stimuli.”

Her work is dynamic and musical. She always smartly weaves set pieces and props in the choreography and chooses music that is evocative and dynamic.”
