What People Say...

“Annie Kloppenberg is a choreographer of nuances. She takes provocative gestures… and hones them to the point of idiosyncrasy… those gestures highlight the architecture of her compositions like headlights on an oncoming train. By punctuating precise traffic patterns with minute peculiarities, Kloppenberg gives the dance its meaning: Rigor can order chaos if you’re vigilant enough.”
- The Boston Globe

“One of the best works of the year. By far.”
- From one Foot to the Other (Dance Blog)

“Always surprising yet highly organic… Captivating... visceral and engaging… Magnificent.”
- OhioDance Review Panel

“These are thoughtful pieces operating on many levels.”
- Daily Planet

“The action is sharp and attention grabbing…[Then] the gestures are slow and soft—making them seem individually important, like a poem comprised of list of slowly spoken nouns. Action seems inevitable, but absent. All actions have consequences... the lines between image, act, and intention are distinct.”
- Ashley Thorndike, PhD. Exec. Dir. Now & Next Dance Mentoring Project

“A hidden treasure.”
- The Lantern

“Kloppenberg approaches dance as part of the ‘common language’ of movement.”
- Columbus Alive

“Kloppenberg plays the floor like an instrument.”
- Rebecca Rice, choreographer, Boston MA

“…a quietly strange world where relationships mean everything…this trio steps aside from reality to create an ironic counterpoint, then invites the audience to step aside as well…”
- MN Web Review

“Anything but conventional… striking…highly emotional and well-excecuted dance…”
- The Daily Free Press
