What the press is saying

Thank you, thank you. This space Occupied atr the Corcoran last night was one of the most happy and successful collaborations of this sort I have experienced. Special applause to Jim and Tish as well for orchestrating their contributions and colleagues, and then, most of all my hat is off to the other dancers. I particularly enjoyed the opportunity to meet them, watch them interact as they surveyed the spaces, the art, etc., and then experience the actual performance. Wow! When it is good...it is good. Susan Badder, Corcoran Curator of Education

More than 600 other people thought it was a pretty special and wonderful moment as well. On top of that, it turned out to be pretty easy to do - from our point of view. Dealing with professionals does make a difference. I hope Saturday is a smash, and look forward to some future adventure. Susan Badder, Corcoran Curator
