Testimonials

"The conceptual breadth of Control Group's work is formidable, and well reflected in its multifarious applications, but finding an entry point is surprisingly smooth. There is no single answer, just as there is no single way to experience what it is to be a thinking, feeling, moving, creative, destructive human. As a viewer/participant, let go of the urge to define what is 'going on' and appreciate the multiplicity of active threads in the performed weaving."
- Jane Werle, Presenting Denver

"Like nothing else in Denver's dance scene. The pendulum of possibility
swings wildly from one instant to the next. It has its own distinct dream logic
that is so powerful, you might never want to wake up."
-Deanne Gartner, Presenting Denver

"The motion-based performances dreamed up by Patrick Mueller and Control Group Productions cross so many disciplinary lines that it's hard to know what to call them, and perhaps it's ridiculous to even try to pin it down."
-Susan Froyd, Westword Magazine

"I'd take that over a Penske Truck full of models any day!" Mark Sink, visual artist
