ADMISSION: BOLD, EXHILARATING AND FABULOUS!

fireWALL dance theater

fireWALL dance theater is taking our stage by storm with their current production of Admission! Admission is the story of six women as they work through their self-doubts, fears and worries on their journey to self-acceptance and female empowerment. Steve Sucato, of the Pittsburgh City Paper, published his review earlier today. You can read his full review here, but we thought we’d share a bit of what he had to say. To start, we’ve displayed a mix of words from his review that we always like to hear, followed by the selected highlights from the Sucato’s review.

ENERGETIC     STRONG     FULL OF POWER     EXHILARATING     VISUAL METAPHORS     BOLD CHOREOGRAPHY     DRAMA     WHIRLWIND SOLOS     WONDERFUL     FABULOUS

 

“ADMISSION’S REAL STRENGTH CAME IN AN ONSLAUGHT OF FULL-THROTTLE, ENERGETIC AND ATHLETIC DANCE SEQUENCES”

DANCERS IN SILHOUETTE BEHIND A ROW OF LARGE PANELS

“… series of gestures that revealed them in states of worry, self-doubt, and feeling trapped by their own fears.”

STAGE CRISSCROSSED WITH BUNGEE CORDS

“caught in a web of similarly destructive feelings, the dancers one by one pushed, pulled and stretched the cords with their bodies, seeming to battle some oppressive force”

DANCE SEQUENCES

As if suddenly empowered and given the green light to let loose, the dancers launched into exhilarating sequences full of power and pace that had them traversing the stage as a unit”

THE DANCERS

“They were fabulous, as were the efforts of the production crew, Bob Steineck’s lighting and McMaster’s filmic score.”

“Women’s-empowerment theme makes for a strong evening of dance from fireWALL”

by Steve Sucato of the Pittsburgh City Paper
