'Orbit' searches for love and a real
connection.
Rachel Howard | SF Chronicle | July 2006
What makes
Erika Shuch's work so arresting isn't the way she intuitively
melds movement and theater, or the knack she has for attracting
brilliant collaborators, or the Gen Y appeal of her slouchy,
all-too-human performers. What's made this still-young choreographer
a standout since she emerged in San Francisco six years ago
is her childlike audacity in the face of big questions. Full

Dancer-choreographer Erika Shuch is a Bay Area wild child. Rita
Felciano | SF Bay Guardian | July 2006
She is running,
always. Where to? She
probably doesn't
know. But she
usually ends up in some unusual places. She'll step on
a crack just to see whether it will break her back. She'll

Close encounters.
The always in-search-of Erika Chong Shuch sends
her talents into Orbit.
Robert Avila | SF Bay Guardian | July

Love is more
than metaphor in Orbit (notes from the edge of forever). Love
is like the intractable need
connected
to the exploration
of space — especially when the search is bent toward
the hope of some ultimate encounter: that contact with
somebody, out there, who knows who you are. It's as if
an inner wilderness
were
turned inside out and projected to infinity. Full

Area Reporter | July 2006
Erika Shuch's new dance-theatre piece
ORBIT (notes from the edge of forever) is a really smart
meditation on connection
and faith.
The ESP (Erika Shuch Performance) Project presents a polished,
well-crafted, full-length evening at Intersection for the
Arts that features talented collaborators and some pretty
good performances,
and shows definite ideas about where San Francisco contemporary
dance is heading. Full

ORBIT (Notes From the Edge of Forever). Chloe
Veltman | SF Weekly | July 2006
Combining
live and recorded music, choreography, spoken text, video
projections, televised
images, and an interactive set,
Erika Shuch
Performance Project's latest, and very beautiful, movement
theater piece is all about humanity's frenzied and
largely frustrated attempts
to forge connections with worlds beyond our own. Full
