​​Tear the Petals forges a metaphor between flowers in bloom and performers on stage, each at their most beautiful when they’re on the verge of falling apart. -  Lauren Warnecke, Milwaukee Magazine

The opening image of a man rolling in a pile of red petals was heavenly. As the dance progressed, those petals spread to cover the stage. It raised constant questions like: Is this love? What is love?  The final petal?  She loves me. - John Schneider,  Shepherd Express
