“Mr. Keigwin’s language, a rich mix of gesture and invented movement, hovers between the abstract and the literal.”

- Claudia La Rocco, The New York Times (2006)

"There was more wonderful dancing in Larry Keigwin's ‘Love Songs’…. Even his darker moments are suffused with the inherent comedy of being human and a distinctive physical style.”

- Roslyn Sulcas, The New York Times (October 2007)
