The Solo Project: Reviews'

Tadej Brdnik performs "Pavilion" in lower Manhattan on September 26, 2001

"The Solo Project"

"In terms of choreography, "chambered Nautilus," danced by Vance Dugosh, was the leader. The music is Asian percussion (sic) that seems to roll around the auditorium, and Mr. Hollander makes his dancer spin around the stage in time. There are many bars of the music that go with little or no movement, which seemed just right. Solos danced by Ariel Bonilla and Virginnie Victoire Mecene were both sublime due to the dancers' articulate bodies. Both have enormous control and style to spare. Yuko Suzuki gave an expressive performance in "sigh." With her feet on the floor, she draws her knees to her chest with fear and yet also self-provided comfort."
Pia Catton Nordlinger, New York Sun, April 4, 2003

"Divining"

"Embroidered with traditional Indian music, this piece is a journey that feels every beat, expands every boundary, and alerts all your senses. The movement embraces the grace, not only of the music, but of every soul's passage to the supreme. One does not think you are reaching God, but that you are reaching yourself... Your true Self."
Krithika Rajagopalan, Choreographer/Dancer, Natya Dance Theatre of Chicago

"Pavilion"

"Tadej Brdnik, teacher and choreographernow working for Battery Dance Company danced to Jonathan Hollander's choreography in Pavilion. Each muscle of the dancer's back and torso seemed to be dancing to music of Indian vintage."
Leela Venkatraman, The Hindu, New Delhi, September 2001

"A fusion between India-sourced themes and Western dance expressions was seen in Jonathan Hollander's lyrical choreography which was masterfully performed by Tadej Brdnik of New York."
Sruti, Chennai, November 2001

"Tadej Brdnik conquered the stage with his brilliant performance in Jonathan Hollander's powerful choreography of Pavilion. Here was an artist who did not perform the dance, he became the dance."
Ramaa Bharadvaj, Dancer/Choreographer, California
