The David Parsons Dance Company will perform that work, “Portinari,” along with several other Parsons classics, at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in the Muriel Kauffman Theatre at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts.” — Patrick Neas

“Tuesday night marked the world premiere of David Parson’s latest work…“Round [My] World”. This work was nothing short of simply stunning. The choreography visually reflected a theme and variation of circles with the dancers bringing tremendous breath and true artistry to capture the honesty of the work.” - The New York Mom

His program at the Joyce Theater included a Parsons World Premiere as well as three works dating from 1982 to 2003. An added bonus was another World Premiere by former Parsons dancer Katarzyna Skarpetowska.”  – Theater Scene
