"The opening piece Fold by Fold, choreographed by Norbert De La Cruz II, was the strongest of the evening.  De La Cruz’s choreography presents us with an impeccable balance of styles, moods, and aesthetic.  His innate ability to direct the eye was demonstrated in his strategic staging and use of synchronized versus isolated pairings.  Dancers Craig Black, Katherine Bolanos, Sadie Brown, Paul Busch, Peter Franc, Emily Proctor, Seia Rassenti, and Joseph Watts on top of giving wonderful performances, were never crowded on stage.  There was also something to be said about the works clearly motivated motif. Set to a vivid classical score, commissioned from Michael Gilbertson, the work reminded one of a late summer afternoon in the forest.  This theme was furthered through the costumes designed by Marion Talan, which were of a dark brown, buckskin texture.  With male dancers in long tailcoats these modern and simple designs were still reminiscent of classical ballet attire.  Graceful curves were contrasted with many moments of sharp punctuated movements."
