"Like an extraordinary piece pf moving sculpture, she evolves through precisely defined shapes to create an aura of almost mystic intensity; the antihesis of movement, interpreted with the faith of a fakir." (Saligram)
Maggie Foyer, Dance Europe June/July 1999

"In dialogue with the red mountain is a dizzyingly sensual experience by one of our leading soloists. "
(In dialogue with the Red Mountain)
Anna Ångström, Svenska Dagbladet 27/9 1999

"It is stirring and immensely beautiful. A glowing confession – the last flight of a firebird before the gold solidifies."
(In dialogue with the Red Mountain)
