5th Annual Ultimate Book & Dance Affair Kathy Dunn Hamrick Dance Company
with guests “So beautiful, so fun, perfectly balanced between intricate and simple, quick-fire and long-line. So Kathy. Just gorgeous.” “Each dancer is their own instrument with a unique timber and color, sharpness and mellow, with dynamic ranges to pull out my soul and give it a good scrubbing. And what intrigues me more than anything is the interconnection each dancer wields with flashes of eyes and bonding smiles that says, ‘This is ours. Let’s go.’” “KDH continues to have one of the strongest, most polished ensembles in the area…
The six dancers in Hamrick’s piece looked fantastic together – on stage and on the video projected behind them.” "Alone, Alone" The 4th Annual Ultimate Book & Dance Affair (Beyond Sold-Out!)

Book & Dance
Affair The Loop “Something heavenly happens every time one
of Kathy Dunn Hamrick’s dancers unfolds her arms and lifts
her chest to the ceiling. The KDH Dance Company, performing Sunday
at the One World Theatre, collects beautiful dancers, who unfurl
their limbs with elegance and breath in the premiere of Hamrick’s ‘The
Loop.’” “
I applaud their stamina. I loved the intimacy of the space, to
see the dancers sweat, chests heaving to catch enough air before
rejoining the spinning spiel suggestive of dandelion parachutes
blowing round to rites of spring. Successful duets…so enchanted
me I could not take notes or break the spell to force recall. All
I can say is ‘thank you.’” Flash Dance: 30 Dances
in 60 Minutes - Seven sold-out performances “ a fabulous hour-long dance” - The Austin-American Statesman “ bursts of illumination that captivate us and leave us wishing they
lasted longer”
