Sometimes, hooking their legs and torsos around their partners’ ankles and calves, the women became like swamps through which the men attempted to move. You could almost hear murky water slosh—or quicksand drag at its captives’ limbs. Weare spun those moves into far reaches of the imagination where fiery women contended as equals with their men… where dancers took to the wet road with no concern for danger." <br /><br />~ Eva Yaa Asantewaa, Gay City News</blockquote> <blockquote>"A double bill I saw at Dance Theater Workshop can stand for an entire generation of choreographers. In "Wet Road," Kate Weare wanted to explore sexual desire from a female perspective. She did so, but not with bold nudity…the clinical detachment of Ms. Weare's approach was erotic in its very indirection." <br /><br />~ John Rockwell, NY Times: Sunday Arts & Leisure</blockquote> <blockquote>"Weare creates wonderfully ingenious, often cruel variations on the steps - ferocious moves appear in many guises." <br /><br />~ Deborah Jowitt, The Village Voice</blockquote> </div> <div class="gallery-holder"> <a class="mobx" href="https://kateweare.com/images/KateWeare_OriginStory011.jpg" data-title="Kate Weare and T.J.
