"...'Positioning,' a duet to Ludovico Einaudi's 'Nuvole Bianche,' danced by Candace Jarvis and Jerard Palazo, was electric... The piece worked because the dancing was excellent, the movement was interesting, the music helped to carry the story, and the background images by visual art director Jayanthia Moorthy all came together to make a unified whole."
