Daria Kaufman
Experimental Performer/Choreographer (USA)
"[Ms. Kaufman] is aware of how dance can communicate more than just aesthetic design. She sees dance's potential for not only meaning driven form or narrative but also as a tool for revealing a deeper awareness of the life around us. Her dances make you ask questions." - Dr. Katherine Mezur, Freie University Berlin, Interweaving Performance Cultures
"Product is Daria Kaufman's elegantly crafted pitch for the dirty truths about women and the marketplace. Its dry and brainy humor is a howl."
- Ann Murphy, Dance Critic, Bay Area News Group
"A poignant combination of formal and pedestrian movement." - Irene Hsiao, SF Weekly
"[...] um tornado energético que abalou todos os que o presenciaram."
("[...] an energetic tornado that shook all those who witnessed it.")
- Ana B. Carvalho, Jornal i, Portugal
