“It is a show that purposely makes you cringe at these vignettes of puberty but also forces you to wonder what things might have been like then, or might be like in the future, if our society encourages bodily understanding and compassion as opposed to shame and mystery. Dance Nation seems to posit that we might become unstoppable and full of freedom.”

“Director Lee Blaser has beautifully weaved the more ruminative elements of the production with the broader elements of comedy and topicality.”
“This vulnerable and honest work deserves to be experienced by as many people as possible.”
“Director Blaser strongly addresses the “medical gaslighting” of women which results in misdiagnosis of gynecological disorders ---which results in unneeded pain, suffering, anxiety and marginalization.”
