"A STRONGER SENSE OF LOCATION — OR OF MIGRATING BETWEEN LOCATIONS — CAME THROUGH IN THE OTHER NEW WORK, MR. ROYON’S BOISTEROUS “HOMEBOUND/ALAALA.” STACKS OF MULTICOLORED MOVING BOXES, CONTINUALLY REARRANGED BY THE CAST OF 11, SUGGEST A LONG JOURNEY IN PROGRESS."  

- NEW YORK TIMES

"Bennyroyce Royon created a conceptually strong "Body Electric," based on the Walt Whitman poem... the second section had some airy, ricocheting ways of accumulating movement and an ending on the diagonal that read like a shock wave, one of those ultra-memorable moments that dance alone can provide." 

- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

 

"...unexpected and heart-stoppingly dramatic." 

- Creative Loafing Atlanta

 

“Royon has a unique choreographic voice and
the dancers seemed to revel in his creation.”

- Dance Informa Magazine

“[THE] COMMITMENT TO INNOVATION IS CLEAR IN ROYON’S ‘FLUX,’ A VISION OF HUMAN DIGNITY AND GRACE IN A CONTEMPORARY WORLD WHERE THE ELECTRONIC PULSES OF CYBERTECHNOLOGY HAVE BECOME INTEGRAL TO DAILY LIFE.”

- ArtsATL

“...refreshingly original." 

- ArtsATL

 

"...HE OBVIOUSLY ALSO HAS A GIFT FOR CHOOSING DANCERS AND COLLABORATORS."
