Pulled together by intelligence and humour... (Goodwin's work) confounds
expectations about what modern dance is.
THE GLOBE AND MAIL
by Paula Citron
"Her choreographic penchant seems to be the expression of real-life concerns,
and thus, her use of pedestrian physicality and commonplace gestures is
the perfect vehicle to convey her message....(with) both pathos and
humour. "
"the provocative solo Liar, inspired by the life and work of American
concept artist Jenny Holzer and beautifully performed by Goodwin
herself...Goodwin's Liar is a glimpse of an all-too human woman and the defence mechanisms
she has put in place in order to cope."
THE NATIONAL POST _ July 24, 1999
"The latest offering by Toronto choreographer and dancer Jenn Goodwin
stretches the conventions of dance to demonstrate that the culture of the
city place on the human spirit" STINK forces the dancers to push
boundaries and explore the contradictions of balance and movement in an environment
that echoes them. "
GLOBE AND MAIL - 2002
Goodwin's choreography is high energy, with the trio throwing their bodies with gusto into each new segue. (SPIT)
THE TORONTO STAR - 2002
Dance Audiences who tuned into Channel 3 over the weekend would have been pleased with the clear picture. The show featured choreograph and dancing of three strong independent dancers, Heidi Strauss, Jenn Goodwin and Justine Chambers.
LE DEVOIR (MONTREAL) - 2002
Jenn Goodwin a de la verve de l'humour et de l'intelligence, dans le franc-parler de ses textes qu'elle declame avec l'aisance d'une commedienne, comme dans souplesse de sa danse. (LIAR)
THE HOUR (MONTREAL) - 2002
Goodwin isn't just using titillating notions to draw a crowd, but instead is a new talent to watch.
