"Reichlin often incorporates folk-dance elements in her works, and "Gimbdu Dance Suite" was no exception. The piece relies heavily on circle formations and folksy running steps, which the dancers executed breezily and well. Elfi Chester' free-hanging "Gimbdu" sculpture with its horizontal slats was fascinating to watch."
