The work of Hilary Easton + Company has been often praised for its wit and spark, investigating complex issues and ideas with exuberant physicality. The company has been presented since 1992 at venues including American Dance Festival, The Danspace Project at St. Mark’s Church, Dance Theater Workshop, PS 122, The Center for Contemporary Arts of Santa Fe, Women and Their Work, The University of Texas, Bennington College, Central Park Summerstage, The Yard, and Lincoln Center Out-of-Doors. The Company's work has been hailed by The New York Times as “visionary in its simple affirmation of the magic of art and the human spirit”, and by The Village Voice as “marvelous and deeply thoughtful.”
Hilary Easton + Company will next perform in NYC in October, 2010 at The Baryshnikov Arts Center. The company opened the 2009 92nd Street Y-Harkness Dance Festival at the Ailey Citigroup Theater, February, 2009.
