“In a year full of noise, Wild Oscillation offers something quieter, richer and far more radical: a reminder that we build community not by forcing order, but by letting a little wildness in.”
— Toni Tresca for OnStage Colorado
“Wild Oscillation isn’t the most abstract or cerebral work HOLDTIGHT has made, but it may be one of its most generous: a piece that uses food, hospitality and shared ritual to gently guide the audience toward vulnerability rather than demand it. The result is a warm, meticulously paced evening that is also, quite simply, a delight.”
— Toni Tresca for OnStage Colorado
“Using food with performance is also about pushing boundaries and seeing what our relationship is to food and art… how we can expand both of those relationships is through site-specific collaborations with local restaurants.”
— Artistic Director Gwendolyn Gussman for Westword
