Bill Cratty - Critical Acclaim

Critical Acclaim

• "Mr. Cratty is an authoritative and intelligent dancer with lots of stage presence, qualities his choreography shares. What a rarity it is to see dance today that looks as if it knew where it were going, even when, as was the case here, it is full of surprises."

–Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times, January 19, 1982

• "Cratty's distinctive style is forged from a love of the pure, kinetic drive of dance combined with an enthusiasm for gymnastics. The result is movement that's free-spirited and taut, whimsical and entertaining."

-Deidre Kelly, The Globe and Mail, January 17, 1985

• "Passionate and responsive dancing with an emotional clarity and a fine edge, he was incredibly alive, even subtle. Completely there."

–Burt Supree, Village Voice, June 25, 1985

• "He has an old-time regard for pure technique that has, among so many of his more fashionable contemporaries, gone out of style".

– Clive Barnes, New York Post, April 21, 1987
