Reflections on Foofwa d’Imobilité
The Making of Spectacles

WhatsonSA Magazine (Capetown, South Africa)
«In his communication with the audience and one on one (in my brief interactions with him), he comes across as very open and unguarded, a quality which is extremely rare, specially from a ground breaking artist. I see Foofwa as a fearless innovator of dance and am grateful to have experienced these performances live.»

Taking Chances/Making Choices
The Making of Spectacles

«Foofwa d’Imobilité uses tradition while both mocking and somehow extending it. I’m not sure how he accomplishes this feat, but it must be in part because he and his dancers are exquisitely trained—how else can you poke fun at dance? d’Imobilité’s years performing with the Cunningham troupe surely gave him experience and confidence. But there is something more here. Call it play in the fields of the masters. Call it illusion in the Land of Oz. Call it whatever you want, but go see his choreography.»
