Afternoon of the Faunes featured in The New Yorker's Ten Best Dance Performances of 2009!

"Dendy is a most unusual talent. The wild, mad, beautiful and extraordinarily energized choreography is all danced to Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Grace Slick, Lou Reed, Joni Mitchell, The Temptations, even ends up with a runaround finale to Led Zeppelin. The dances are brilliant!"

Clive Barnes, The New York Post

"Dendy turns symmetry and twinning into the stuff of nightmares, schizophrenia and ribaldry… For all the mordant hilarity there is fine choreography and terrific performing… Both thrilling and deeply funny. Dendy confounds such distinctions all the time."

Deborah Jowitt, Village Voice

 

"Dendy’s “Study for Depth” conjures a rather militant youth anthem. Dancers cut forcefully across the stage in inexorable patterns inspired by M.C. Escher’s mind bending lithographs. Mr. Dendy’s phrases often double back on themselves, seemingly to implode before the audience’s eyes. Relentless… Striking. The final image is chilling. The age of man is over, the age of the dancer has begun."

Claudia La Rocca, The New York Times
