Re-Thicker Than Water-“Brooklyn-based Koplowitz is a genuinely wise person.”

                                    --Elizabeth Zimmer, The Village Voice, 5/4/93

“As the performers talk and move through bits and bursts of athletic movement, jabbing into space and at each other, nuanced characters... are touchingly revealed.”

                                    --Jennifer Dunning, NYT, 10/4/93

“Mr. Koplowitz has made a career for himself creating works that strike universal chords with his audiences.”

                        --Melinda Greenberg, The Baltimore Jewish Times, 11/12/93

(“Blending text and movement, Thicker Than Water peels back the layers of a family, exposing its strengths and weaknesses. Mr. Koplowitz deftly draws his drama in two acts,using subtle choreography and his own well-crafted words and those of Martha Hirshman.”

 ...A large part of this company’s attraction and power is that the dancers are not from one generation...The strength of Mr. Koplowitz & Company is the dramatic embodiment of a simple observation of family life: It is never what it seems.”

                                                --J.L. Conklin, The Baltimore Sun, 11/22/93

“I never thought a normal family- one like mine, for instance- could be an interesting subject for choreography. Stephan Koplowitz thought differently, and created a most satisfying piece titled Thicker Than Water....Blood runs thicker than water’...provided the underpinning for Koplowitz’s confessional/confrontational theater-piece about average, middle-class families, one that’s arresting, humorous and touching. Koplowitz cultivates mundane stereotypical behavior to extraordinary artistic heights, while at the same time keeps a ‘real people’ relationship among his multi-generational cast.”
