What the critics say:

of Pluto:
(Bluethenthal) is the epitome of a woman persevering in the arts to reach gold. Pluto (is) the farthest out she has fearlessly gone. Her creativity is off the charts…” - Joe Landini, In Dance

"Her work is not like anybody else’s – fluid, beautiful, ferocious, vulnerable, ruthless, and endlessly surprising, all at once…Nobody that I know of has ever done anything more beautiful with bodies.” - Sarah Stone, author

of Bluethenthal:
"Her work is brainy, her own, and full of soul, and without her voice the chorus of Bay Area dance would be so much more impoverished.” – Rita Felciano, SF Bay Guardian

"A rarity and a pleasure, Anne Bluethenthal is among the SF Bay Area's most charismatic performers...Bluethenthal doesn't invent steps; she reveals them, as a bit of organic reality preselected for our enjoyment." Janice Ross, Oakland Tribune


Anne Bluethenthal's choreography is respected for its formal sophistication, its heart, and its ability to effortlessly bridge the worlds of concert dance, political art, and ritual. Bluethenthal is Artistic Director of ABD Productions, an award-winning, SF-based, woman centered, multi-cultural dance company dedicated to creating language of movement that challenges conventional notions of dance and to presenting choreographies that take on difficult issues with eloquence and passion.
