Comédia Press Quotes

"Peter Davison knows how to shake up classical ballet, and his 'Comédia' concert does just that… 'Bella Luna' and 'Cirque D'Amour' employ a colorful range of movement, objects, music, costumes and lighting (think Cirque du Soleil meets classical ballet) to weave their strange worlds."   
Denver Post

"The two-part production utilized so many elements that are foreign to classical ballet that it seemed to define a new art form. The men and women on stage transformed themselves with simple household items, adding ingenuity to the awe of the quality performance."   CU Campus Press

"I can't begin to tell you how amazed I was by 'Comédia.' I'm struggling to describe what I saw in verbal detail. My imagination was running wild throughout. The use of objects and props was simple, yet rich with wonder…the balance, confidence and strength that went into it was unbelievable."   Your Hub Boulder

"'Comédia' holds its audience throughout. All of the dancers in 'Comédia' are more than solid and their technique significantly extends the performance life of every sequence. As in the past Davison creates believable characters in movement sequences that are often subtle and minimal - and at other times huge and commanding."   World Dance Reviews

"A beautiful display of grace and athleticism filled the stage when dancers glided through a giant orb, and later communicated a work using only a ladder. Emotions such as joy, loss, failure and triumph played through each production. 'Comédia' had the audience transfixed to the very end when the dancers ascended to take their bows."   Estes Park Trail-Gazette
