CHOREOGRAPHY
• Durham herself is an extraordinarily beautiful dancer. [In Appetite] there are nice things to look at - as in the lovely melting handstand that segments on its way down…colorful slides of apples, a lovely horizontal video of water, a table luridly lit from below. The music is skillfully collaged and provides interest, as in a well-crafted film score. The language is also intelligent and well-delivered. The Philadelphia Inquirer, 1/23/2006
• “Three excerpts of works in progress already look quite stunning. In her ‘at the root of this longing,’ Meghan Durham employs hair, apples and cake semiotically and Michael Eger speaks a text collage as he dances.”
The Philadelphia Inquirer, 6/21/2004
• One of the highlights of the evening was “Walking Down Death Row,” …an emotional dance choreographed by Meghan Durham, Amy Pinegar and the [Children’s Dance Theatre high school] class.
The Deseret News, 2/13/2002
• Meghan Durham’s “Listen” [danced by soloist Clara Freedman] went …through a course more gentle but as complex texturally. To absorb so much material in so little time, then to present it so cleanly and with so little fuss tells me the future of modern dance is in good hands. The Salt Lake Tribune, 8/26/2001
PERFORMANCE
• “[Melanie Stewart] uses three of the best dancers around – Meghan Durham, Bethany Formica, and Janet Pilla – and these ladies give their all, which is a very great deal.” City Paper, Philadelphia, 1/28/2007
• “Grosser finds gestural correspondences to the lyrics in Henry Purcell's music, something he develops too in “I attempt from Love's sickness to fly in vain...,” in which Meghan Durham delivers the evening's most virtuosic dancing.” The Philadelphia Inquirer, 6/08/2005
• “Look Spot Look, See Jane Dance” featured Meghan Durham dancing [Stephen] Koester’s work. Again, a delightful work, made more delightful by Durham’s buoyancy and sense of breath and phrasing. The Salt Lake Tribune, 11/22/2000
