"Young Choreographer to Watch"

Ballettanz Magazine's 2008 Yearbook

"If you liked the movie Knocked Up, you just might love the work of choreographer Ivy Baldwin. She pairs shlubby guys with elegant, remote women to create very contemporary dance theater."

Elizabeth Zimmer, Dance Magazine

"Baldwin's wide ranging imagination and affinity for the surreal lead her down a different path for each new work."

Marina Haars, The New Yorker

"The dancer's mouths are wet in Could be nice... They've been chewing orange slices, and we can almost feel the juice clinging to their palates, where it's flavor mixes with the taste of sweat."

Robert Johnson, The Star Ledger

"Laced with deadpan melodramatic edge, which Mindy Nelson uncannily conveys through her subtly raised chin and slightly supercilious eyes, the trio offers intriguing physical interactions"

Brian McCormick, Gay City News

"Ivy Baldwin is a choreographer with a taste for humor inherent in strangeness and oddity."

"... wildly, darkly imaginative."

Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times
