‘Every young hot shot has to grow up eventually or risk burning out and crashing. The latter has not happened to Stephen Petronio.’

‘…Petronio enables us to see with greater clarity not just the shapes and steps that they contain but the human impulse behind the material.’

‘…BLOOM, featuring music by Rufus Wainwright…supplements the Canadian pop troubadour’s heady, prerecorded vocals (to lyrics by Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson)…The result is one of the more harmonious, hopeful and humble dances Petronio has yet made.’
