[100 Beginnings is]Lots of fun in high heels.  An extreme performance getting an extreme reaction…..Two moving walls create rooms, corners, barriers, tunnels, hiding places and mazes, to make the whole thing feel very much like a dreamscape where things shift constantly and imperceptibly…Certainly, each of the performers give us something to watch and something to applaud.

Nicole Wolcott is queen of the quick cut….It’s as if the body truly is an instrument: virtuosity is found in a rapid sideways glance, pivoting feet, a hip that sinks and shakes like a piece of machinery, or a brisk plunge to the floor.

The carnality episodically exploding, billowing, from Nicole Wolcott in her bridal gown was quite amazing, like something only hinted at in Tennessee Williams.

Karole Armitage may hold the official crown of “punk ballerina,” but that’s in part a tribute to her spiky hair; Keigwin co-founder/dancer/artistic associate director and choreographer-in-her-own-right Nicole Wolcott (no relation, except in the sense of the cosmic dust that composes us all) seems to me the dancer with the truest punk attitude and daggery attack, the one who physicalizes Chrisse Hynde’s direct-hit voice with a humor all her own. She is the lizard queen of the Keigwin piece set to Devo’s Whip It.

“Ms. Wolcott has a gift for organizing space, but her sophisticated comedic abilities are probably her strongest suit, and “Dramarama!” was never better than in those first deranged — fun with stereotypes! — moments.”

“[In] Larry Keigwin and Nicole Wolcott’s 82 Decibels…the choreographers layer the activities so cleverly and time them so well that every moment makes its point.”

“And three cheers for Nicole Wolcott, one of today’s finest dance comedians and a knockout dancer.”

“There was no doubt, however, that “Bolero NYC” was the tour de force of the evening… Mr. Keigwin (assisted by Nicole Wolcott, who also collaborated on “Caffeinated”) used 46 civilians of all shapes and ages to create an entertaining city portrait… It is funny, touching and a masterly piece of choreographic organization. Go.”

“Mr. Keigwin created the works with each dancer, and the union is strongest with his associate artistic director, the marvelous Ms. Wolcott. Her fierceness underpinned by an affecting fragility, she slipped toward and away from a powerful floor fan, lashed out into gorgeous aerial kicks or curled into a tight ball. Ms. Nicks sang ”Stand Back,” and you couldn’t decide whether to obey or offer comfort.”
