“Living takes practice, Susan Marshall suggests repeatedly in the truly experimental
dance works that make her one of the most significant choreographers today. Her powerful
imagery is concerned with process: men and women continually fumbling toward human
contact, learning how to mitigate instinctive physicality into more tender fluency.”
– Anna Kisselgoff, New York Times
