Review: MOMIX: ALICE at The Joyce Theater
by Cindy Sibilsky - Jul 14, 2022

Like a hallucination or fever dream, it's a feat of artistic achievement that seems unreal. The MOMIX cast are called dancer-illusionists for a good reason; what they pulled off in this show seemed superhuman.

BWW Review: Luminario Ballet and Judith Flex Helle Premiere Dance Film L' INVALIDE at Madrid Theatre
by Valerie-Jean Miller - May 5, 2021

“L’ INVALIDE” Viewable ON LINE @:  https://luminarioballet.org/movie We see some very tall, spindly trees above that we are surrounded by, as a cover of “White Rabbit,” circa late ‘60s by Jefferson Airplane and Grace Slick is heard.  Next a voiceover begins to tell the story of Alice in Wonderland, and some wild and cut to a different scene altogether.  From this moment on, I knew this was going to be a trippy, artistic and somewhat psychedelic journey into someone’s subconsciousness. That someone is Judith FLEX Helle, the director and choreographer of this unique piece of film.  It blends together altered states, symbolism, beautiful movement, and much emotion.  It’s loosely autobiographical, in that it portrays how she imagines she felt at a certain time in her life. Produced by Judith FLEX Helle, Allen Walls and Luminario Ballet, this 12-minute content-packed film will leave you gasping at what just transpired.
