Brumgart’s Body Symphonic “Sarah Brumgart...is a phenomenon. At first sight, her small head, compact figure and finely chiseled features give an impression of cherubic innocence...but her appearance in no way prepares you for the power and intricacy of her dancing...both virtuosic and heroic, an almost encyclopedic marathon of movement possibilities.”

The Washington Post

“In improvising, she creates dances far more powerful and beautiful than most dancer could even dream of creating through extensive set choreography”

The Austin Chronicle

Quotes

“Despite the lack of a musical score, Brumgart clearly possesses an inner rhythm. Influenced by yoga, as well as by dance and gymnastics, Brumgart looks like a sculpture in motion. Her work is a private but accessible exploration of movement and imagery. There were no stops or rests in this piece. The movement was organic, flowing from one shape to the other as if drawn by some powerful, internal source. Brumgart has tremendous body control and endurance. Throughout the short, fascinating dance, she displayed an amazing ability to move competing parts of her body at the same time.”

The Boston Herald

“While her flexibility is astonishing, it is her dynamic sense that keeps you riveted to every move. You can’t guess what will happen next - her focus shifts continuously and mercurially.”

Austin American-Statesman

 

 

 

 

“Her structured improvisations amount to a meditation in motion, with constant attention to every detail. The result is powerful to watch.”

Yoga Journal

 

“Every move had an unnerving underlying chic. Gorgeous...”

Dancemagazine

 

“And finally, Sarah Brumgart, lithe, possessed of extraordinary concentration... moves as if the dance were flowing through her.”
