Press for FEAST: a ballet:

“No romance or trips through ‘Candy Land’ here. FEAST grapples with real-world problems including consumerism, wealth disparity, and climate change.”

Zachary Lewis, Cleveland.com

“During the pandemic, many dance companies have put their performances online…we’ve watched long and excellent online programs from New York City Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre, not to mention a local production by something called The Creative Destruction Collective.”

Victor Lucas, ClevelandConcertDance.com

Performance Reviews: 

“With long, teased hair flying about, Lindhout aggressively swooped and swayed about the stage- her performance like a mini-tornado on a path toward its own destruction.”

Steve Sucato, CriticalDance.org

“Verb thrilled the crowd with Poll’s 1996 Bolero… Christina Lindhout danced the lead role in the mesmerizing dance…whipping her blaze of a red cape around like a matador queen.”

Kerry Clawson, Akron Beacon Journal
