“If Galileo drew a clear line between the classics and modern science, then Francesco Ventriglia can also be seen as expanding on the heritage of ballet to create a new choreographic vocabulary. His latest work, Galileo, is both a showcase for some of the most talented young dancers in the country and a thrilling scream for attention from one of the freshest choreographic voices to emerge in recent years.”

Jansson J. Antmann, Limelight

“This work deserves the highest accolades for Artistic Director Francesco Ventriglia‘s choreographic brilliance, and the sheer strength, skill and commitment to detail every young dancer exudes.”

Sarah Navin, Dance Life Australia

“What a thrill it was to see Francesco Ventriglia’s exciting choreography for his latest work, Galileo. The performance was absolutely absorbing to watch from beginning to end.”

Michelle Potter, On Dance

“Marco Giani’s video design stressed how ubiquitous Galileo’s way of looking at the world is to our modern sensibilities. Ventriglia’s challenge seems to be – does the mix of art and science lead to more beauty in our world.?  The set design was simple but intriguing using the dancers as bridges,against Giani’s video,sometimes dark by design.There was always movement and glimpses of shadows, filling the compact performance space that the dancers fleshed out with their bodies and never ending movements.”
