“Mr. Taylor’s poetic title is apt, as 10 of his bright-faced, smiling dancers evoke a seaside romp, with hornpipe-style rubbery limbs prominent, as they gambol in and out of a movable sailboat. In the end, “Sea Lark” amounts to a 21st-century twist on an old-world tableau vivant—more of a tableau animé.” – Robert Greskovic, The Wall Street Journal
