"Kamikaze dances" Allan Ulrich, VOICE OF DANCE

"(Scott Wells)...has a dizzying abundance
of pure dance-making talent." Rachael Howard, SF EXAMINER

"Wells has become over the last fifteen years the Paul Taylor of Contact
Improv - that is, the first to make dances in this idiom that are deeply
musical, somehow "normal," imaginative, witty, often hilarious, sometimes
fierce, but always respectful enough of the concerns of the general public
so that the audience in Peoria would feel they had something at heart in
common. In Wells's case, perhaps as in Taylor's, it's rooted in a profound
need to reconcile deep oppositions, softened and lightened by a Zen attitude
towards the impossibility of it. For Wells, it looks like to me (and I
follow Wells as some movie-goers followed Kieslowski) these oppositions are
between art and athleticism, the masculine and the feminine, the almost
disembodied breath of music and the deeply muscular nature of movement, and
the aggressive and the passive modes of being."
--Paul Parrish, Dance View Times
