“Scales focuses on microscopic photography and videography and the beauty that we
rarely notice. Set to a score by composer and sound artist Jeff Kolar (who is also
interested in things we often miss), it is reminiscent of the work of Pilobolus or MOMIX.
The dancers, dressed in highly colorful costumes by Amanda Gladu, work together
to mimic insects, cellular reactions, and the pattern of shells.”
- Ellen Dunkel, The Philadelphia Inquirer
