“Clearly the crowd-pleaser, “SCRAP” was created by Canadian choreographer Cameron Fraser-Monroe, set to the infectious music of jazz trumpeter Delbert Anderson and his quartet — a fusion of music from Anderson’s Navajo heritage, funk and jazz.” — The Seattle Times
“The rhythmically charged piece in Fraser-Monroe’s imagined subterrabean world, driven by a pastiche score by Juno-nominated, two-spirit composer Cris Derkson, becomes a combustion of classical technique and contemporary idiom, with its all-male ensemble sections particularly strong.”
“One of the most potent images comes as T’əl is tricked by Erica and burned in fire; a sextet of dancers en pointe suddenly morph into licking flames before transforming into ‘Noseeums,’ a.k.a. mosquitoes, as a final remnant of this archetypal figure.” — Winnipeg Free Press
"It feels like only the beginning of an entire new way of interpreting ballet, and signals a long, rich career to come for Fraser-Monroe.” — Janet Smith for Stir Magazine, Vancouver
