Reviews:

“[In Soft Front,] the trio of dancers — Micah Burkhardt, Madaline Maravillas, and Ursula Perry (also an RDT dance artist) – clearly establish the contrasts with sinewy, gritty, athletic movements that symbolize tenacity against the softer touches of mutual empathy that allow us to endure those moments of blame, shame, and judgment.” - The Utah Review

“Overall, Forge was an incredible production and an outstanding example of modern dance. It is refreshing to see talented dancers and choreographers collaborating in innovative approaches not often seen by larger established dance companies, and to find that in Salt Lake City.” - Front Row Reviewers
