Notes: “Entomological eroticism… as essay in movement invention. In this intriguing and insistent whirlpool of dance…the familiar had been made to look strange, the commonplace transformed into a glistening fantasy. If you think a cockroach can’t look exotic, you obviously haven’t seen Counterswarm.” – Anna Kisselgoff, The New York Times
