Latest Reviews on "The Dance Theater Voodoo-Queen" choreographed by Patricia Weiss, January 2009:

"Dance Theater "Voodoo Queen" cast a spell on me this past Sunday evening at the Ailey Citigroup Theater, NYC. I found myself transported to New Orleans, almost two centuries ago, to experience the legendary tale of the Voodoo Queen through dance, music, and storytelling... Simple, contemporary costuming allows for the focus never to diverge from the drama, and allows the audience to see this old story in the modern day. This dance/drama merges various dance forms with capoeira and voodoo rituals seamlessly... The dancers do an amazing job of morphing into the Voodoo spirits as they writhe across the stage and tell us this old spiritual tale... The choreography (by Patricia Weiss) is very sensual not only in the way the male and female duets are filled with temptation and positions of lust, but also in the way it clearly expresses to the audience the spirituality inherent in the story..."

Reviews on "Continuing..." in collaboration with Annegret Hoch, choreographed and performed by Patricia Weiss, September 2008:

"Hoch gestaltete dafuer einen Raum des Ateliers mit Farbe und Tapete. Weiss griff dies in ihrer Choreographie auf, startete mit maschinellen Bewegungen, die den Wellenmustern der Tapeten nachempfunden waren. Nach und nach naeheret sie sich dann den weit geschwungenen Pinselstrichen der Kuenstlerin an, mit denen die Tapetenstuecke verbunden waren. "Patricia hat die Bewegungen der Malerei in die dritte Dimension gebracht", fuehrt Hoch aus. Dieser Prozess sei nicht nur fuer die beiden Kuenstlerinnen sehr spannend gewesen, sondern habe bei der Premiere des Werks mit dem Titel "Continuing" in den Raeumen des iscp positive Resonanz des Publikums erfahren."
