"Lies You Can Dance To," By investigating how the human body responds to lies told over and over at the level of national policy, the performance explores the bending of democracy that currently surrounds us and how that resonates kinesthetically in the bodies of its citizens.

Selected Quotes
"a beautifully realized, emotionally rich, and thought-stirring set of movements developing the theme of women and industrial labor..."
Rob Avila, SF Bay Guardian, July 22 2009
"Kreiter has built a remarkable work, and she, as well as the women who inspired the piece, deserve our applause and admiration."
Joanna Harris, Culture Vulture, July 2009
"intimidatingly creative"
-SF Chronicle
"...A wonder of equilibrium..."
-The New York Times
"Kreiter ...has created an evening-length work in which substance trumps considerable spectacle."
-Rachel Howard, SF Examiner
"She (Kreiter) places the gifts of gymnastics and the props of circus arts, such as trapeze, poles and ropes, inside the aesthetic boundaries of the concert stage and liberates often stodgy modern dance by freeing movers from the floor."
"...she has created a means to fuse the freedom of athleticism with the poetry of fine art."
-Ann Murphy, Oakland Tribune
"Kreiter's artful direction pushes the physical feats far beyond spectacle."
-Jennifer Copaken, Dance Insider Online
"In TEST, Jo Kreiter used an anchored steel pole, which she climbed and dangles from in an impressive display of strength and agility."
-Christian Science Monitor
"Kreiter's feats of athletic dance are a philosophical assertion. On one level, with their emphasis on upper body strength and embrace of physical risk, they're a feminist statement, celebrating the potential of the female body... But on another level her choreography affirms the simple sensuousness and communicative power of the human body."
-East Bay Monthly
"...hundreds of spectators watched in fascination as the performers descended into the alley and for a time transformed one of the city's most despair ridden stretches of asphalt into a celebration of spirit..."
-North Mission News
