"One of the best things about seeing dance outside of New York is the chance to have more personal encounters with artists. One night at a Mount Tremper bonfire, I listened to the choreographers Nora Chipaumire and Souleymane Badolo and the drummer Obo Addy talk endearingly of their fears of harmless garden snakes. The next night I watched them perform “I Ka Nye,” a powerful cycle of duets, in the studio built by the festival. As night fell the mountains darkened to silhouettes, and the sound of crickets and bullfrogs drifted in through the open windows." The New York Times, July 15, 2010

"Vandenbroucke and Pokoik, the founders and directors of Mount Tremper Arts...may be the youngest impresarios in the Hudson Valley — and among the most impressive." Chronogram, July 2010
