What reviewers have said about Therese:
“She comes on stage. You are certain that you are about to see, hear, feel something special. As dancer or as choreographer, by herself or with colleagues, she draws you in as witness to her originality, her drive, her unique dance entrepreneurship, energy that empowers others to see and feel her creative pulse. You are on a magic carpet ride as she brings her vision to life right before your eyes, and whisks you away to the stars.”
