| ... Rabinowitz conceived a work of intense physicality that immediately established a momentum that never lapsed... Tony Angarano, the Hartford Courant | |
To use an old hoofers cliche, Rabinowitz is a dancers dancer. Shes the kind of mover you cant take your eyes off of. A longtime student of the Alexander technique and more recently a teacher, Rabinowitz uses this technique of spinal alignment and internal space to create her choreography. Andrea Klein (HX Magazine) |

Village Voice Review: Surfers and Steppers “An Evening of High-Endurance Dance,” Molly Rabinowitz’s March program of kinetic constructions, transformed WAX into a dance playground for grown-ups. Yoga and gymnastics augment her vocabulary, pushing her adventurous dancers to explore their physical limits. In Serenity Now, Rabinowitz and Rick Michalek bounce off the walls in a duet set to toy piano. They face off in dance brinkmanship eventually ceding to peaceinverted, feet sole-to-sole, contemplative gazes locked. In Edge, three dancers giddily build a pyramid of backbends. Karl Anderson belly-surfs like a maniac, and later steals the spotlight in Dance World, a hilarious deadpan Flashdance send-up. Rabinowitz and Erika Kinetz barre-spar in Liquid Grip, charging full-speed at the barre and spinning around it as arch-backedgymnasts gone wild. Even with no soundtrack, Spring sustained a pulsing respiratory rhythm. The dancers sliced through splits and pelvic pivots and strewed bouquets of flowers with childlike glee. Susan Yung (The Village Voice) |

You get the image of Rabinowitz as a lone sculptor toiling away in her studio, or a mathematician engrossed in trying to solve an endless equation. Andrea Kleine (HX magazine) |

Molly Rabinowitz “is about to be an overnight success.” Her work has the “appeal of a 1940’s backstage flick: though no one speaks, it says volumes.” Elizabeth Zimmer (The Village Voice) |

“Molly Rabinowitz’ choreography ”seemed a visual commentary on relationships, their fragmentary nature, and their inevitable failure. Rabinowitz conceived a work of intense physicality that immediately established a momentum that never lapsed. Her astonishing dancers responded to her concept with ensemble performances of dazzling articulation.” Tony Angarano, the Hartford Courant |
Molly Rabinowitz’ “head, spine, and limbs transform into arches, pendulums, and corkscrews as she executes back walkovers, splits, and an enthralling floorwork phrase that sweeps through high speed spins, and spirals across the surfaces of her abdomen, back, and hips. Her gymnastic movements, however, are imbued with a sassy attitude that bespeaks a spirit within the soma.” Lisa Jo Sagolla (Backstage Magazine) |
