| “…Her work has vision
of interesting depth. The dynamic energy of her lovely and strong
dancers is expressed easily through movement that is captivating,
fearless, and the gestures in the choreography are enjoyably complex…As
a performer Ms. Hoff is a powerhouse of limbs and facial expression…”
Anne Merccurio/ ExploreDance.com (July 2008) “…this wonderfully gripping dance- with Hoff scrabbling, rocking and constantly stirring on the floor- suggested the elemental movements of a creature striving to become something different…” Robert Johnson / Starledger,NJ (09/23/03) |

"...Plural Nounsss… visceral and compelling, a statement of pain and loss and of trying to wrest sense from a sometimes senseless time. This piece has more of the hard edge Hoff is also capable of, with athletic and frenetic slapping and falling….
…Talk to Me is a rich piece, full of interesting staging choices using only folding chairs and five dancers, with plenty of drama and physical interaction …There is good ebb and flow as well, driven both by choreography and musical choices …The ending builds in intensity from the moment all five seated dancers bump their chairs downstage to the edge of the audience, confronting us at intensely close range, really effective in the small theater of this evening, until ultimately they spread themselves across the stage to finish with a dangerous series of falls in which each dancer crashes dramatically to the floor all the way from standing on the chair seat, over and over until blackout…
The range from danger to playfulness in the evening is refreshing, with neither heaviness nor levity being allowed to dominate. It is a trick to pull this off; Hoff clearly has a serious side but also enough clarity to keep that light at the end of the tunnel."
