From The New York Times, October 2, 2006, by writer Jennifer Dunning.

Fatigue set in by the end of the overly generous second program in the Fall for Dance festival on Saturday night at City Center. But not before the evening's jewel, an excerpt from James Kudelka's "Fifteen Heterosexual Duets," set to Beethoven's "Kreutzer" Sonata.

Credit should go to Coleman Lemieux & Compagnie of Montreal, whose dancers moved easily and wittily, looking like grown-ups who had lived full lives. Mr. Kudelka's choreography is just as witty, full of ingenious partnering and glancing, perceptive takes on lovers' foibles and the art of the duet.

Mophead Peter Discovers America

The island of Newfoundland, which joined Canada in 1949, is a magical world for nature lovers, adventurers, artists, and of late, also for tourists. As large as the old Federal Republic of West Germany, it is a dreamland of forests, fjords, sea and moor. Pure landscape, empty of people, and awe-inspiring. Surprisingly, in the middle of this God-given seclusion, a multifaceted theatre life is taking place - though not in the secluded villages which haven't yet built up an amateur theatre with tender-loving care. Enthusiasm for art can sometimes be greater than the art itself, but there is something heart warming to see the pride and admiration with which local residents idolize their theatre troop. Maybe it's because of the long cold winters, and the darkness - there is a similar phenomenon in Finland - in any case, a very alert and curious audience has accumulated here.
