EXIT DISCLAIMER:
SCIENCE AND FICTION AHEAD
Exit Disclaimer: Science and Fiction Ahead is The Seldoms' 2012 take on the divisive national debate about climate change.

"Hanson is among the more fascinating and surefooted of our contemporary choreographers" - Chicago Tribune
"Conventional, Carrie Hanson is not. It's refreshing to see a choreographer who's always willing to test the boundaries of possibilities, even in the most polarizing of political subject"
- TimeOut Chicago
"Hanson's usual expert mix of somber, precisely calibrated and evocative abstract movement...with humorous dance theater"
