“I had the opportunity to attend the "Instinct" performance in Chicago, while visiting from Barcelona. This was an amazing experience, because I felt the connection between the dancers' emotions and body movements, in harmony. The simplicity of the stage and dramatic lighting helps to focus on the dancers, their energy and the life they bring to each piece. I hope to return again, because this Identity group is something special."
— Anna Riera, Barcelona, Spain
“The performances I have seen are extraordinary - in their originality, emotional expressiveness, musical accompaniment, costumes, and physicality - an inspiration to me to apply these characteristics to my own work and life.”
— Terry S Wendt, Evanston, Illinois
“My first experience in witnessing these wonderfully skilled, expressive dancers has inspired me to give 100% the way they do in their performance. Ms. Lo's choreography reveals what the human form can do, so beautifully and in fluid interaction. I am hooked on dance because of Identity's work. Thank you.”
— Terry S Wendt, Evanston, Illinois
“I go to performances by Identity to revel in the choreographic creativity and the dancers' skill. I leave, my soul having been enriched by the emotions in the movement, the communication of joy and the challenges of life. These performances are unmatched in reaching an appreciative, attentive audience.”
— Kevin Yost, Evanston, Illinois
