TOURING OF BEAUTY HAS BEEN A HUGE SUCCESS!

SEE QUOTES FROM OUR REVIEWS ON THE ROAD BELOW

"Beauty is wickedly funny." - The New York Times
 
"The aptly named Comfort approaches the subject matter of her dances with gentle humor and nostalgia. Tiptoeing into areas where some might fear to tread - cosmetic surgery, a possibly comatose child - Comfort makes even Barbie a sympathetic character" - The Boston Globe

"Fantastic and fascinating...Like the best of dance theater, "Beauty" isn't preachy. Instead Comfort creates a space for viewers to think about women, bodies and society while watching movement..."Beauty" is right on." - The Washington Post

"It’s a work of extremes — extreme appearances, extreme movement, and extreme discomfort as we observe how universally we are all implicated in the perpetuation of these unnatural ideals.Comfort’s choreographic voice is articulate, insightful, and strong, and her medium (the dancers, movements, sounds, and visual elements of her work) communicates a series of messages that beg and deserve to be heard." - The Rogovoy Report
 
 "The dramaturgy behind Jane Comfort's gimlet-eyed pageant in Beauty, on delicious display at Jacob's Pillow Doris Duke Theatre this past week, is spot-on. Petra van Noort is coached in the hyperfeminine lexicon of the catwalk. Svelte, young Lucie Baker has her body redrawn with a black marker to refine it for the plastic surgeon's scalpel. Leslie Cuyjet's glamorous image is Photoshopped, click after click, to refresh as thinner, taller, and whiter-skinned until the model is unrecognizable.…seeing the work with a live audience was a revelation. Gasps and sighs around me conveyed that the facts of the soul-killing self-appraisal that has become part and parcel of the beauty trade are not all common knowledge." - The Boston Phoenix
