"Garner’s “As the Wind Blows” is an exuberant burst of fresh air with an easy blend of contemporary modern and ballet; in a nice tip of the hat to the company’s early, heavily jazz-inflected style, there is a strong thread of contemporary jazz in the movements, lending clear stylistic dynamics to the piece. The dancers’ hips are often crisply staccato, swiveling back and forth atop parallel legs, while their torsos and arms move in great contrast, all curves and undulations." - The Boston Globe
