Critical
Acclaim for Don McLeod
"McLeod's voiceless,
primal drama is beautiful . . ."
--Hollywood Reporter
"The first
Westerner I've seen, who performs with the same intensity as
that of Butoh's founder, Hijikata. McLeod creates a medium
of primal connections. His work in Dreams From the
Floating World is a realization of the similarities in all
cultures, yet it undermines preconceived notions of how the
self is viewed. Part dark cabaret, part mime, with the overall
physicality of dance and the expressiveness of theatre ...all
these elements are included in an unforgettable evening of butoh."
--Yonetani Yoshi, Art-Circle Mutant Theatre
Group Osaka, Japan
"As the best
movement artist we've seen ... he reflects a warm
and winning personality which completely captured
the attention of the sold-out concert series finale."
--Washington State
University
"His performance
at UCLA provided an evening of artistry rarely seen
in live theatre today...great music and damn good
entertainment that makes one think. There were no
seats left...and the audience hung on his every
move..."
--Los Angeles Free Press
"McLeod is
a creative genius. He has taken a unique art form
and updated it into something of rare beauty."
--The Newhall Signal
"Excitingly
different . . . we were thrilled to have Don McLeod on the show."
--Jane Pauley, NBC's Today Show
"McLeod is
the Prince of mime."
--Los Angeles Times
"The best gorilla
actor I've ever seen . . . Thanks for a great show."
--Jane Fonda
