“The choreography was an impressive blending of the strength inherent in the technical aspects of the form and the exuberant emotions that exist in the stories being told…Her [Sonali Skandan] charisma on stage permeated every piece and drew the eyes of the audience as she shifted her gaze in conjunction with the movement.” -Mayura:Blue Peacock, Chen Dance Center 2014

Eye gestures, smiles of irony, and wistful tilts of the head make the movements of the cosmos visible on a human scale."
