"When I grow
up, I want to dance with Aszure & Artists"
The Village Voice
"Barton is clearly
brilliant"
San Francisco Chronicle
"Ms. Barton is audacious"
New York Times
"A rare accomplishment
in the world of contemporary dance.
Barton's alarmingly
original voice resounds with a thwack"
Boston Globe Correspondent
“It’s like the
dance equivalent of Hieronymus Bosch’s Garden
of Earthly
Delight: full of sinful pleasures, ludicrous
and haunting… Barton’s work
is deliciously
revealing… Like sex, it is urgent, embarrassing,
raunchy, satisfying, complex—and a lot of
fun if you can let go...
And I’m
hungry for more.”
Santa Barbara Independent
"That the work's musical mix feels so seamless
is testament to the unifying power of Ms. Barton's
dance imagination"
The New York Times
"With each dancer a
fractious choir, each dance ultimately achieves
unique,
delicious harmony"
The Village Voice
"Aszure's teaching,
like her choreography and her dancing, is fearless.
She's a risk taker and a speaker of truths"
Palm Beach Daily News
"This is the Arshile
Gorky of choreographers… I thought that the
audience
was going to explode from its seats…
Aszure Barton, where have you been? Where are you
going? The art of choreography needs you."
Dance View Times
“The brilliant New
York-based Barton produces delectable works that
are quirky, deep, cheeky, and poignant. Her quicksilver,
unpredictable movement always astonishes the eye.”
Globe & Mail
“beautifully mad”
The Edmonton Journal
"Aszure & Artists'
artistic director's choreography demonstrates mastery
of
structure and form"
Palm Beach Daily News
“breathtaking, explosive
and exhilarating”
Santa Barbara News Press
"Just when you think
you've seen everything, comes a choreographer whose
work packs such a jolt that it knocks you off your
seat."
Metroland
“a rare instance of
a dance that feels as if it were plucked straight
from the choreographer’s extremely specific
imagination and set, full- grown, onstage…
full of surprise and humor, emotion and pain, expressed
through a dance vocabulary that takes ballet technique
and dismantles it to near-invisibility.”
The New York Times

"The audience was transported into another realm... There are moments of love, laughter, longing (sexual and spiritual). There are hierarchies, mateship and alienation. Sid’s birthday is a dream, a fantasy and a metaphor for much bigger issues."
