Dancing Perfectly Free - More than meets the Eye

It was strangely satisfying yet bewildering to experience the myriad atmospheric transformations that occurred throughout the installation. Moreover, not fully grasping the world that I encountered, nor knowing when and where its creatures would emerge (or sneak up behind me), set the installation apart from a traditional, seated performance. Indeed, not knowing what to expect, along with those rare interactive moments, are what make Cedar Lake’s installations enticing. There is always more than you know.

Oberon's Grove - Cedar Lake Installation

As always at Cedar Lake, the dancers brought their personal commitment and powerfully diverse personalities into play, drawing the elements into a cohesive whole. Despite feeling that I probably missed certain things in the installation, the performance sped by all too quickly and the dancers were called out twice to ardent applause.

The San Diego Union-Tribune - The goal: fancy footwork, maintain balance

Cedar Lake in contrast, has been around for just seven years and is making its San Diego debut. And — speaking as someone who was so moved by a Cedar Lake piece in Massachusetts last summer that I returned the next day to see it again — that’s very exciting news.
