QUOTES
'Nicole Whiteside and Laura Cannon are not, in fact, winged messengers from on high, but for the past few years, they've gotten so good at aerial dance work that they can pass for angels' AUSTIN CHRONICLE
'These women have become pioneers in a kind of aerial work that few others in Austin have ever attempted and only a handful of people in the country are doing. It's performance that is as physically demanding as it is daring, and yet they have managed not only to take it beyond stunt status to the level of true dance, they've made it look easy.' AUSTIN CHRONICLE
'Sally Jacques has perfected her own brand of artistic unity... she has united location with... a rarefied form of modern dance. She has done so with impeccable taste and sentiment' AUSTIN AMERICAN STATESMAN
