REVIEWS
Divining (2019)
“Magic is what we make to address our shortfall, the gap between our limited bodies and minds and the totality we long to know. Faulkner and her little seismic dance company crew have made some of that in this disturbing and particular and beautiful piece.” Elizabeth Costello, February 2019
“Faulkner’s faith in the body’s resilience offers a way of seeing the future not as an object, but as a process of discovery.” Writing on Dance, Michelle LaVigne, February 2019
“…the viewer is left between joy and sorrow, between hope and doom, nudged to confront her own body to search for signs and responses to the questions that the piece brings forth.” Medium.com, Marie Tollon, February 2019
“…what a fine endeavor,“Divining” is.” Dance View Times, Rita Felciano, February 2019

QUOTES
Deemed a “surpriser” by Rita Felciano in the 2011 SF Bay Guardian year of dance in review. “I call them surprisers, because you think you know what to expect from them and then find out that you don't. One example ... is Katie Faulkner, who possesses wit in addition to a fine eye for form."
“What a perfect name for this new troupe, which delivered a small-scale yet ground-shaking performance.” IN DANCE, August 2006
“Faulkner creates movement that emerges like watercolor on canvas, unexpectedly funny one moment and heartbreaking the next.” SF Weekly, January 2008
“Faulkner draws on intense observations of the everyday and then spins them into tightly woven structures” SF Bay Guardian, June 2009
“Faulkner is a local choreographer to watch .” Allan Ulrich, Voiceofdance.com, July 2009
