Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "When dancer and choreographer Maria Caruso moved back to Pittsburgh a decade ago, she reached out to the local dance community, to little avail. The only response she got was from Michele de la Reza and Peter Kope, co-directors of Attack Theatre. 'Otherwise, I didn't get a warm and fuzzy response back then,' says Caruso, founder of Bodiography Contemporary Ballet.

Local groups helping nurture a strong dance community
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "When dancer and choreographer Maria Caruso moved back to Pittsburgh a decade ago, she reached out to the local dance community, to little avail. The only response she got was from Michele de la Reza and Peter Kope, co-directors of Attack Theatre. 'Otherwise, I didn't get a warm and fuzzy response back then,' says Caruso, founder of Bodiography Contemporary Ballet.
I think so often we forget that theatre isn't just about making money and pleasing producers. Theatre and art in general can be a great form to help people and be an outlet to show what we really think and feel. This article shows that dance can really help someone and be an outlet as Caruso says. She feels that dance makes her stronger and that's why she is reaching out to other people. It's always great to hear how art is being more than just this commercialism that some of it has become.
