I was moved to the core and knew with certainty that I had witnessed an historic moment in solo contemporary dance. The unique signature of her artistry hit me with all the power of Marie Chouinard or Susannah Linke in their own unforgettable solo concerts. Waltz - Slaughterhouse/Requiem reaches a kind of perfection as a program, not because the works are virtuosic and sexy (though they are that), but because they reveal the authentic, heroic and fragile gifts of both creators... I hope that the program can be seen across Canada and around the world.

There is deep meaning… great courage and melancholy here. Expansive movement, immense sounds and carefully crafted, elaborate scenic design makes the scale seem larger than life. This “bigness” has a layer of complexity.
— Colleen Snell (THE DANCE CURRENT)
Slaughterhouse/Requiem” was highly original and impressive, and is one of my highlights of the year in dance... it was “Slaughterhouse/Requiem” that invited us in, with a vivid and creative staging of some of her journey thus far.
— Penelope Ford (THE FJORD REVIEW)
DO NOT MISS THIS PERFORMANCE…It will move you to the core!
