PRESS QUOTES-
‘The Adequate Heart’ has both drama and playfulness,... humor, imagination and pizzazz. Together choreographer Stephan Koplowitz and Robert Clarida have blended music, songs, lyrics, and movement into a seamless, upbeat, modern-world whole.”
----Elizabeth Lee, The Durham Sun, 7/3/89
In The Adequate Heart, “the snaky, show-offy movement and, especially, Koplowitz and Robert Clarida’s pulsing score proved absolutely mesmerizing.”
---Pamela Sommers, The Washington Post, 10/13/90
