CRITICS ON RANDY GLYNN - HIS DANCING AND HIS WORK

"Like hitting the slot machine the dancing just kept gushing out" - THE SUNDAY TRIBUNE, DUBLIN
"Randy Glynn showed an acrobatic pliancy that kept the eyes glued to his movements" - THE JERUSALEM POST
"His torrid intensity made the stunts sizzle and Glynn's balance was phenomenal." - THE NEW YORK TIMES
" what separates Glynn from other contemporary choreographers is the skillful way he melds basic movement steps with earthy emotions to produce dance patterns as potent as they are light and infectiously happy. Glynn's scope is so wide that to describe him him by sheer detail alone would limit understanding of this talented choreographer." - THE GLOBE AND MAIL, TORONTO
"You will be amazed by Glynn's vision and feeling, his ability to dignify and deepen ordinary experience." THE GLOBE AND MAIL, TORONTO.
