“The dancing is undeniably powerful; it sweeps you up in its physical tumult and strong emotions. There is nothing cool and restrained about Brown's works…” Sarah Kaufman, Washington Post, May 3, 2010
“Brown is one of the strongest, sweetest synthesizers of African and American-style concert dance on the contemporary circuit.” Ann Murphy, Contra Costa Times, January 25, 2010
“Choreographer Ronald K. Brown creates dances so kinetically irresistible that it’s hard not to squirm in your seat, to nod the chin and cock the shoulders up and down, tapping along to the beat.” Karen Campbell, The Boston Globe, October 19, 2009
“To the accompaniment of the fantastic Guinean drummer Mohammed Camara, they went from one phrase to another in a constant stream of invention….” Marcia B. Siegel, The Phoenix, October 21, 2009
"The program included Evidence, a Dance Company. I have never admired this troupe more..." -- Alistair Macauley, The New York Times, May 24, 2009.
“…magnificently textured style, which shifts from earthy, raw-powered movement to jumps that send dancers sailing into the air like spirits." -- Gia Kourlas, The New York Times, February 16, 2008.
“An ingenious mix of rhythmic, African traditions and loose-jointed clubbing, Brown’s swinging choreography makes viewers feel like dancing…Watching them is a sheer delight." -- Robert Johnson, The New Jersey Star Ledger, February 9, 2006.
“Lots of news releases yammer on about fusion, but the choreographer Ronald K. Brown is the real deal exploring dance idioms from across the African Diaspora, mixing Cuban, Caribbean, West African and modern American dance forms with an impressively light touch. The result? Percussive, high energy works that joyously splice complex rhythms with a deep but down to earth spirituality.” -- Claudia LaRocco, The New York Times, February 3, 2006.
