"In this time when opportunities to be presented are few and far between and small and mid-sized companies usually have to self-produce their work, the Goose Route Dance Festival was a treat: an opportunity to share our work with new audiences and artists from other cities, while focusing on the art rather than the logistical details."

-Susan Donham, Spinning Yarns Dance Collective, San Francisco, CA

"I was impressed with the number of ways that you opened the doors to new audiences of modern dance....I am trying to figure out ways in which we might apply some of your ideas here in San Francisco."

-Susan Donham, Spinning Yarns Dance Collective, San Francisco, CA

"Shepherdstown was very warm and generous to us, and without your vision, persistence, and trust in the company as true artists, none of this would have been made possible."

-Christalyn Wright, Wright Now! Performance Xperience, NYC

"We very much enjoyed being a part of the 2003 Goose Route Dance Festival. It is one of the best organized and well run festivals that we have attended."

-Christina Briggs and Edward Winslow, Incidents Physical Theater, NYC

"I had a truly wonderful experience both artistically and personally. My impression was that all elements of this production, from publicity to management, were so well taken care of that the artists were able to focus solely on the artistic work. This is a rare pleasure."

-Monica Bill Barnes, Tour Bill, NYC
