CRITICAS

• THE ORANGE COUNTY PERFORMING ARTS CENTER
OCTOBER,2000

Pas de Trois for a ballerina and two male dancers. It's structured in five parts and presents the conflict and triumphs of the lovers in different situations. One of the dancers lifts the other, then they both lift her. She stands straight up on one leg in the hand of one guy. She rolls over to the other and both hold her, laid out flat over their heads. She dances with one, while the other dances alone on the other side of the stage. One guy slides her in front of him and they exit. When they return he lifts her high and they pass her back and forth between them. Julieta Gros, Sergio Amarante, and Benjamin Parada are lithe and lissome, witty and smooth in this beautiful "Suite Generis."

"And ``Suite Generis'' introduced Julieta Gros, Sergio Amarante and Benjamin Parada to Bay Area dance lovers. The piece is whimsical, its wit often hiding the highly demanding technique of a Mendez ballet. The winning Argentine trio danced it as if it were the easiest thing in the world".

"David Gomez and Matthew Dribble are excellent as Tony and James, respectively, as is Julieta Gros as Judy. She eventually becomes a wayward widow in black dress and veil, pirouetting across the stage: spinning as though out of control, as her life seems to be".


• RALEIGH NEWS OBSERVER REVIEW
BY ROY C. DICKS, CORRESPONDENT
RALEIGH

"Julieta Gros gave Judy perky charm in the early scenes and moving grief as widow at James' funeral, subtly conveyed through steps on pointe".

"The more formal, lyrical dancing of Julieta Gros, as Judy, is a striking counterpoint to the pell-mell energy of the other characters, as in her solo in black to The Stranger".


• LANSING STATE JOURNAL REVIEW

BY KATE O'NEILL

"My favorite, Julieta Gros, an unusually versatile dancer, equally at home in lyrical balletic sequences (some of them en pointe) and loose-limbed jazzy numbers. She's terrific in portraying Judy's transition from naive young girl to grieving widow".

"Pert and prissy Julieta Gros makes a spitfire Judy, widowed by the war".

"Tharp has been at this whole idea of mixing genres for a long time, way back to her Deuce Coupe, set in 1973 for the Joffrey Ballet to dance to music of the Beach Boys. Tharp's own teachers, like Merce Cunningham, broke rules, too. So it's a surprise, but one that comes out of Tharp's lineage, when Tony (the vulnerable, charismatic Corbin Popp) and Judy (Julieta Gros), who earlier have been boogieing around, can segue easily into a classical pas de deux set to the Franz Liszt-inspired Reverie (Villa D'Este) and Just the Way You Are. To dance it with such ease and such classical line in the middle of a Broadway show was noteworthy"

"Judy, longtime sweetheart to Matthew Dibble’s boyish James, Julieta Gros moves from perky innocence to sexy confidence. Her anguished performance helps The Stranger work — despite its lyrics — as an odd _expression of grief".


• SLIDELL, LA REVIEW

"What can we say about the dancers except that they are simply superb. Julieta Gros was seen as Judy and was particularly effective as she danced en pointe in "The Stranger" and "Elegy."


• DES MOINES REGISTER REVIEW

"Kanyok and Gros, as the female leads, brought a sexy sass (and killer legs) to the stage that conveyed a full range of emotions".

"And the Argentina-born Gros' portrayal of the grieving Judy is remarkably beautiful to watch, a ballet dancer at her finest".

"In contrast, Judy and James' blissful pas de deux (to Just the Way You Are) shows a more stable and innocent young love. Julieta Gros' Judy invests her graceful moves with sweetness and passion".

"Julieta Gros, a stunning blond with a steely attitude, excels as the emotionally severed Judy.
Her balletic skills are superior and she conveys volumes with her wounded demeanor".


• METROACTIVE STAGE
By Marianne Messina
San Jose

"And the "Elegy" scene, in which Judy (sweetly danced by Julieta Gros) receives the flag in honor of her fiance, James, killed in combat, is a beautiful partnership of expressionistic dance and music. Soldiers fold the flag with tight, ceremonious movements and hand it to Judy, who takes it and clutches it to her, giving a sense of "Is this all I have of him?" that needs no translation".


• DALLAS
BY JOHN GARCIA

"Julieta Gros is sublime as Judy, the girl who loses her husband to the war. Her dramatic, dark, emotional ballet in "The Stranger/Elegy" will put a huge lump in your throat. As I sat in the dark watching Judy (dressed in black) mourn her husband's death, the soldiers elegantly folding the flag to give to this widow, I couldn't help but think of what is happening to our nation right now - talk about theater mirroring life! In a touching performance, Gros shows through her dance the agonizing pain of Judy losing her high school sweetheart".

"Julieta Gros, a ballerina from Argentina, portrays the mild-mannered Judy well through her ballet and point sequences. She, along with the other main characters, has great acting ability in addition to superior dance talent. During the scene in which Judy is projected as Eddie's guide through his nightmares, Gros' dramatic side is prominently displayed".

Twyla Tharp’s dancers? They perform feats that most humans are incapable of conceiving, yet alone accomplishing; and this they do on a regular basis. Simply astonishing. The dancers in MOVIN’ OUT are athletes, artists, workhorses and shining stars. Roses, and flowers of even greater expense must be thrown at the feet of tonight’s leading ladies, Holly Cruikshank and Julieta Gros. Their physical beauty is only possibly overshadowed by their grace and craftsmanship.

"But when it comes to the most intimate and lyrical moments of this bitter-sweet tale, Tharp says it with dance alone, as she does in the fluid pas de deux between Matthew Dibble's James and Julieta Gros's Judy that takes its inspiration from Joel's Rachmaninoff-esque Reverie".

"Thursday night's cast - Ron Todorowski as Eddie, Holly Cruikshank as Brenda, Matthew Dibble as James, Julieta Gros as Judy and David Gomez as Tony - was simply stellar, surpassing, in several cases, the current Broadway crew".

"Brenda and Judy provide the fire of romance, the pain of loss, and the tenderness of love with their effervescent, graceful, and sensual dancing".
"Gros, on the other hand, is a diminutive beauty, who moves with lithe lightness. Her pas de deux with Dibble in “Just the Way You Are” is achingly poignant".

"Especially fine is the work of Julieta Gros. Gros' elegant solo during the plaintive opening and closing strains of "The Stranger" is the highlight of the first act. The dance stands out and illustrates the main problem with "Movin' Out." It's one of the few times in the show that the audience is offered a combination of lyric-less music and non-place or action-specific dance".
"Gros is not acting out a love or breakup scene, pantomiming gunfire, or dancing at a nightclub — as many of the dancers do throughout the show. Instead, she shuffles across the stage en pointe and proceeds through a mournful series of evocative moves, and she provides a moment that finally lets the audience's imagination do some of the work".

"It is a brutally affecting show that features an incredible cast of dancers led by the principals mentioned above (the group is spelled four performances a week by another cast of leads). The two women -- Cruikshank (who danced in "Contact" here several years ago) and Gros -- are stunning, as is Dibble, who moves with an astounding flexibility and speed".


• CONTRA COSTA TIMES

"Brenda, Eddie and Tony demand an emotional commitment as exhausting as the astonishingly athletic dance. As does the role of Judy, played at every performance by the superb Julieta Gros".



• THE DOGE´S DOMAIN

"Julieta Gros shines as the anguished widow in “The Stranger” (the chorography for which owes something to Agnes DeMille’s work for Oklahoma and Brigadoon) and has a wonderfully tender duet with Matthew Dibble as the doomed James in “Just the Way You Are”.

"The dance styles display considerable variety, including a balletic duet for Matthew Dibble as James and Julieta Gros as Judy to "Reverie (Villa D'Este)" and "Just the Way You Are." It's a clever counterpoint of a big pop hit with an unexpected dance vocabulary. Later, Gros shines in a mournful dance that's all constriction and that subtly pays homage to the great Agnes de Mille's work in the Golden Age musical "Brigadoon."
