“Impermanent Landscape has a mysterious, churning-liquid feel... and keeps the audience curious from start to finish.”

“One of the most inventive dance pieces this reviewer has witnessed.”

“Keeping the viewer in continual suspense and giving everything the flavor of unknowability.”

“Articulate, fearless, intelligent dancing”

“Green must be applauded for orchestrating such an ambitious and enriching undertaking... ...critically illuminating.”
