“Hook’s lush mature body coursed gorgeously through “Game Point,” to poems by Anne Sexton. ….Hook’s smart choreography invites the mind to race to keep up; the body takes vicarious pleasure in her moves. Impulses spread from her balanced center to her limbs and through her articulate hands and feet in a most satisfying way.”

-Tom Strini, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel 

“Sara maintains the lithe suppleness of a somatic maestro while carrying all the authority of a capital-M-odern dance grand dame into her role as ballerina/hostess/house guest with unfailing deadpan and panache.”

-Maura Donahue, Culture Bot

“In Is All, Sara Hook’s exquisite choreography is vivified magisterially by Endalyn Taylor in a short but wildly impactful physical vignette that illuminates much…”

-Eva Phillips, Pittsburgh in the Round

“Wonder’s Mist (choreography by Sara Hook) rolled back the curtain to show the unfinished edges of everything: dance, rehearsal, effort, childhood, sexuality, longing.”

“My favorite number by far was Valeska’s Vitriol, choreographed by the resourceful Sara Hook and astutely performed by Mary Cochran.  The piece evokes Valeska Gert, a ‘grotesque dancer’ of the Weimar period in Berlin, whose sexual and scatological impudence onstage reads as a cry for freedom.”

“Bored house guests. What does that mean to you? The duet Bored House Guests…blasts open any of the usual images. Is the “house” in fact a home, or is it a theater…where these two brilliant performer-choreographers are puttin’ on a show…struggling, posing, sweating bodies that contain their rampaging spirits?”
