"Fricke...once again conjures a singular choreography of tremendous soul, integrity and physical prowess."

Camille LeFevre, Minneapolis Star Tribune

"The real power of this work is its sheer imagery and it concomitant emotional undercurrents. These visual haikus explore the places where there are not words, and create emotional tremors that transcend this writer’s decidedly western bias. Borrowed Bones is bare bones."

Deb Skophammer, Pulse

"... a choreographer who knows the body's million inflections, hears her music closely, and pushes the boundaries of timing and detail."

"In her choreography, Fricke manifests a serene and ageless approach. Images of pagan time – when elements ruled every human impulse – mingle with postmodern minimalism and gutsy physicality."

Caroline Palmer, Minneapolis Star Tribune

Wynn Fricke: Fierce and Honest Devotion by Lightsey Darst

2000 City Pages Best Choreographer Award by Caroline Palmer

"Fricke isn’t telling a story through dance, translating an idea into dance, but finding the dance at the center of the moment. ... Devoid of artifice, pretense, or humor, the dances go like arrows. They are wounding, and the wound cannot be translated. "

Feeding on Human Beauty: Minnesota Dance Theater by Lightsey Darst

"Her most recent creation, a duet with Indian dance master Ranee Ramaswamy entitled Two Winds, shows a dancer/choreographer at her physical finest-mesmerizing muscularity, lean with wisdom and strong with confidence. "

Thoroughly Modern by Tim Gihring, Minnesota Monthly

"Wynn Fricke's masterful new work "The Shape of the Wind" begins with two hanging wind chimes, beautifully created by Dean Hawthorne."

Dance Review by Sheila Regan, Star Tribune

" Her choreography is guided by extremes of physicality. Part of the pleasure of watching it is that the difficult appears effortless; the tiny and delicate, Herculean. "
