“...work that examined the fleshy and primal nature of the human body was Molly Poerstel-Taylor’s Do Beast. Her four captivating dancers - Hadar Ahuvia, Alice MacDonald, Mary Read, and Eleanor Smith - wear costumes by Poerstel-Taylor that alternately expose and cover them. Each dancer belongs to her own world and moves alone, yet they are kinesthetically and spatially connected.”
