| What People Are Saying...
"Full Circle"
deals with the cyclical nature of our human experience and our
need to connect to our energy and power--and to be nourished
by our roots and our spirit--in order to survive!
"I can tell
you that I was not disappointed last Friday night. And I must
say--that Founder and Artistic Director, Edna-Jakki Miller,
in her solo in the grand finale "Wade in the Water,"
did some of the highest flying I've ever seen anywhere--in any
dance company--by any dancer! And it was thrilling!"
"This is a
dance company that knows how to make the magic happen! Not to
be missed!"
"Edna-Jakki
Miller's vision embraces this musical heritage--and the music
in her concerts is always exciting."
"Ms. Miller's
special talent as a choreographer lies in the fact that her
movement gets to the heart of the emotion. And nothing moves
us more, nothing gets the hairs at the back of our neck to stand
up more than movement so inextricably charged with feeling--coupled
with complex and beautiful music."
"Experience
Dance Theatre is a Charlottesville treasure..."
"What
a spectacular performance! My family loved it."
"I
love the choreography. So many, many beautiful visuals."
"E-J
you are such a powerful dancer. I love to see you dance. You
have such a powerful, commanding presence. "Heal Me"
and "And I Am Telling You" are very emotional, passionate
pieces. You and Richard are so wonderful in "Telling You"--and
that music is so great!"
"I
love watching each of the dancers in "Wade In The Water"--and
the special things that each brings to that piece--how each
one makes it her own. You can't dance that dance without wanting
to make it your own and to soar with it. That's the great thing
about it--it is sooo much fun to dance. And that makes it irresistible
to an audience."
