"... the mesmeric In the Belly of the Whale ..."

Canada Dance Festival

Robert Everett-Green, THE GLOBE & MAIL

"...the piece is a penetrating exploration of how art mirrors life..."

The Mourning of Queens

Paula Citron, TORONTO STAR

"This work deftly combined words, movement and visuals. It might have been on a small stage, but its impact was big."

Where Were You When the Chair Hit You?

Deirdre Kelly, THE GLOBE AND MAIL

"...the achievement of Laura Taler and Darcey Callison, the choreographers responsible for this small but special event, was to have taken guidance from rather than impose a theatrical identity on this unique setting."

...Ease thine heart...and all its smarts...sleep dear sleep

William Littler, TORONTO STAR

"This dance for three arranged a marriage of its media that left each with room to breathe and resonate. The flowing choreography was Callison's strongest..."

In the Belly of the Whale

Robert Everett-Green, THE GLOBE AND MAIL

"...a vivid, penetrating and strongly constructed dance work on the themes of religious and sexual passion."

Casting the First Stone

Max Wyman, THE PROVINCE, Vancouver

(Darcey Callison) "...handles the monologues of Malina so beautifully...Brazier and Darcey Callison give surprisingly distinguished performances in the lead roles.

I want to see more of these guys..."

Kiss of the Spider Woman

Allan Twigg, CBC-AM

,

"Kim Frank's Lola and Herb Projecting, excellently danced--and--talked--by Darcey Callison and Denise Fujiwara..."

Lola and Herb Projecting

Michael Crabb, THE TORONTO STAR

"Conceived by New York director Tina Landau...the blind Argentine poet Jorge Luis Borges is played with calm dignity by Darcey Callison..."

The Blind Men

Ronald Hambleton, THE TORONTO STAR

"Sandboxes stands on its own as a multi-layered social commentary..."

Sandboxes

Michael Crabb, THE TORONTO STAR

"Callison's latest turn toward pure dance suggests that he is looking for a technical floor, a movement idiom he can develop through future multi-media works. That's a good defense against professional dilettantism, known to overcome some who mix their arts. On Wednesday's showing, it's fair bet that Callison has the rigorousness, and the talent, for the task."
