"Christy Funsch's Dapper Indiscretion Blues finds this excellent Bay Area dancer sidling and shrugging her way through a quirky solo that signifies a distinctive sensibility"

Allan Ulrich, August 21, 2008, Voice of Dance

"...lucidly conceived and playful...thoughtful, intriguingly structured choreography, beautifully realized by an excellent quintet of lush performers"

Rita Felciano-Dance View Times

"...a logic that is sensory and a rationale that is as pleasurable as it is intuitive." "...maybe best of all is Funsch's piece Excitation Modes, in which she places the members of the San Francisco Guitar Quartet in the four corners of the space, and simply lets her dancers inhabit the musicians' sonorous universe."

Rita Felciano-Guardian

"As a dancer she is technically precise and performatively nuanced, simultaneously solid and insouciant. Her expressions affect direct speech. Watching her is like being in dialogue with her; she's that focused and clear."

Sima Belmar-Guardian

"Funsch's works are the more immediately appealing, especially her tender new solo "Pilgrim." Usually seen dancing with Maxine Moerman's company, Funsch is a riveting performer." "Funsch's simple yet gutsy experimentation elevates the piece
above mere stage personality...we feel thoroughly enveloped in her traveling consciousness."

Rachel Howard-San Francisco Examiner

"Christy Funsch's solo "Slip" makes it all worthwhile. Funsch reasserts the idea(indeed, the truth) that when a dancer finds a story in her movement and in her performance of it, the body can speak volumes. With her focus clear and coming from a deep internal place, Funsch creates such visceral-emotional reverb that I couldn't take my eyes off her."
