I liked it because of the way it made me feel. Watching the exceptionally talented Batsheva Dance Company’s Telophaza I caught myself smiling (a lot) along with many others around me. In a world that feels increasingly pessimistic Telophaza offered a welcome contrast.

Telophaza – Review (Gregory) January 7, 2007

Thanks for Gregory Creighton for this great review of Telophaza:
