"A dual sense of doom and joy fills 'The Dance of Life'...It requires a quiet patience...Thematically the show is quite poignant...Framing the cause as a continental phenomenon, rather than based in a particular nation-state, serves as a powerful reminder that we collectively share the world and the responsibility to protect it. The essential and unwavering harmony of biodiversity, communicated through the powerful grace of this cast of dancers, is 'The Dance of Life.'"
