"Julia Gleich's 'At the Cove,' set to music of Rebecca Clarke, was particularly striking and modern, with a tender 'meeting of the misfits' by Leigh Barnwell and Joey Goodman, against six schoolmates. It was almost a short story ballet, and the personal emotions of the characters became clear through their dance." -Jim Lowe, Ballet Review, Times Argus, July 2, 2001
