“Together, they're whirling suspensions combined with fluid floor work and risky weight sharing to create a joyous sense of support and interconnection.” -Gillian Renault, ArtsATL. Read the review here.
“Jacque combines narrative storytelling with a physicality that makes her dances enjoyable to watch, palatable to those new to the form, and gives art goers something new to consider every time.”
