ALL THIS FOOL OF LIGHT

"Among all the companies of dance invited to the Fringe, Sweet Edge is particularly stunning…equipped with exceptional technique…dance with exhilarating contact and complexity where the arms entangle like a web. Olson embraces risk, one sees it well with the way in which the choreography lays out its dancers in the space. The collision risks are uncontrolled and they are enormous, each presentation gives the impression of attending a premiere. Beautiful."
Francais Dufort, ICI (newspaper), Montreal

"Triple threat dance that relies heavily on dynamic partnering relationships and a heightened sense of timing. Olson's work is at the heart of current trends in contemporary dance…expect the unexpected."
Cari Cunningham, The Boulder Daily Camera

A SEPARATE HAVEN

BARE

"Olson is the essence of the modern sensibility...an artist from whom we can continue to expect great things. Luminous on stage with a fragile eroticism, she is ethereal and lusty at the same time...impelling, sliding tossing her parts almost out of control and whimsically bemused by the whole."
Fritzraven Sky, Dance Critic, Vancouver BC

"Dance at the very edge of possibility with a colorful dynamism that's rare to surpass...powerful emotional moments...explores oppositions in unexpected combinations of delicate and strong. Outstanding Choreography!"
Susana B. Williams, Director, Dance-Forms Productions

BRENMAN'S GATE

INVITED THUNDER

"A dance presentation that has made an immense impact in our lives. A work without extravagance, but with boldness and unruliness. We were simply captivated and astonished."
Rafael Benítez Giralt, Arts Critic, Congress of San Salvador,
Edinburgh Fringe Festival Performances

"Striking...created a majesty of space."
Ivan Sygoda, Pentacle, New York City THE LEAVING END

BLOOD RIDGE

"Unforgettable...remarkable...The audience expressed great admiration and enthusiasm for Ms. Olson's work."
Norberto Amador, Diario de Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico

"A dazzling trio of eccentric royal queens in deliciously zany costumes...The romp and humor are delightful, rich in inventive choreography, dancerly wit and sophistication."
Barbara Dilley, Director of Dance Studies, Naropa University

REIGN

LACRYMOSA

"A unique performance...such plasticity...wonderful dance."
TV Channel 11, Mexico City
