Press Room

Press Mentions:

"...Human Landscape Dance explored the underbelly of myths and folk tales with ingenious choreography and staging by founder Malcolm Shute."
                                                                                     --The Washington Post

"...it is pitch-perfect and an element of humor and suspense is subtly added..."
                                                                                     --The Philadelphia Inquirer

“It is the kind of work that allows dancers and spectators to expect the unexpected. The company…seeks to find beauty and surprise in life’s most ordinary settings.”
                                                                                     —The Washington Post

Human Landscape Dance's "...work is about interaction: the hand caressing the face, the boot down the stairs, the unknotting of a tangled body–the transformation of relationships through touch."
                                                                                     --Philadelphiadance.org

“…intimacy is a trademark of Shute's choreography.”
                                                                                     —Gazette.net

“The dancers go on to embody bonding and separating, and carrying and falling. As they ride waves of change, you are encouraged to reflect on your own experience as a parent or child.”
                                                                                     —Flatbush Life
