“Truly heartfelt dancing, and orchestration of that dancing. A kind of complexity and simplicity, simultaneously. Layers of meaning. Generosity towards and honest attentiveness to the audience. The importance and poignancy of remembering. Hanging onto and expressing memory through movement- and thus honoring it. Courageous, uncontrived. I wanted it to go on!”

“Unearthed Moments was not only a testament to its choreographer, but also to the power of dance as an artistic medium to portray history, create emotion and to intellectually engage its audience.”

Choreographed by Jenny Showalter and Lyndsey Vader
“Jenny Showalter and Lyndsey Vader’s work, “What is in Between,” followed suit with an intriguing choreographic exploration of space between the bodies of two dancers. These performers seemed to eat up the stage around them with hazy, smooth movements. Nothing about their dancing pricked or jumped out at me as I attempted to follow their spatial traces; yet, this made their slippery, synchronized mannerisms all the more engaging to watch.”

“What is in Between choreographed by Jenny Showalter and Lyndsey Vader was an exciting, intricate duet performed by Becca Carter and Leah Watson. Full of athleticism and detail, the dancers moved close to and "in between" one another, creating a palpable tension on the stage.”
- Michelle Dexter, Artistic Director of Perpetual Motion/ Modern Dance Oklahoma
