“Each performance is an adaptation, rather than a repetition of something fixed. This is the hope, anyway, and it is buoyed by practicing performance in the studio and on stage.”

“There is an un-preciousness here…it unfixes me to rove. It makes me become like my gaze…I am jostled and stilled.”

The Brooklyn Rail Me and performer, artist, writer Doug LeCours in conversation and a short video piece about collaboration and the inspiration of being/having a muse.

“While [the performers] might look agitated to an outside eye, they also appear to know right where they are internally, a shared awareness that keeps the work from spinning out of control.”

”Julie is a master of timing.”
–Deborah Hay

“Julie Mayo's work revels in a kind of unique “awkwardness” that has something very personal to say about the state of human beings, and human bodies, in the world. It springs from a decades-long practice that is notable for its consistent rigor, self-awareness, and a refreshing willingness to risk embarrassment for the benefit of something true.” Brian Rogers, The Chocolate Factory

“an associative, sometimes absurdist choreographer”
–The New Yorker

”Terrific Freight is filled with so much sadness, truth, and humor for me. It feels like a poignant archive of these times. How did you do that?’
--Kristin Swiat, performer

"I’ve followed Julie’s work for over a decade now, admiring her singular voice and approach to dance making."
–Neil Greenberg on Novatia Tryer

"There’s a sense of inevitability, like everything that happens is the only thing that could possibly happen."
–Culturebot, Lydia Mokdessi

"I read a myriad of references into the work: everything from Beckett's What Where to a widely unnoticed millennial film about a teen-aged dancer."
–Conectom, Marissa Leah

"Interruptions and returns to former identities, multiplications of intentions and depictions of social entanglements, in an almost Brechtian manner, expose cracks on the seemingly smooth surfaces of human exteriors."
–Orchestra, Marija Krtolica

"A dance by Mayo is rarely laugh-out-loud funny, but you might giggle when its operatic excesses peak."
–Trailerpilot, Zachary Whittenburg

"[In 2009}, Julie Mayo showed us Feed the Guest, Fever Drift, and whoaa man, and we loved them all."
–Time Out Chicago, Zachary Whittenburg

"You know good poetry? It’s like that."
–Trailerpilot, Zachary Whittenburg
