“Bruce Wood can do no wrong.... his new work a small dance took Jennifer Mabus through a minefield of emotions. Literally and figuratively she travels from worry and despair to graceful acceptance. “

Margaret Putnam, Theater Jones, February 19, 2012

“Her gestures and movements were funny, seamless and spot-on.”

Michael Huebner, reviewing a Battleworks performance for The Birmingham News, January 16, 2010

“Dallas native Jennifer Mabus gets a different workout in Takademe. The footwork is fast and detailed and her body undulates like an uncoiling cobra.”

Margaret Putnam, The Dallas Morning News, March 31, 2007

“Particularly notable were Jennifer Mabus, who must be the Energizer Bunny of the dance world…The tiny, powerful Jennifer Mabus danced the solo Takademe to percussive mouth music by Sheila Chandra. Extended dance solos are hard to pull off, but Mabus was riveting and the choreography, dynamic.”

Katie Dobs Arial reviewing an American Dance Festival performance for CVNC, July 11, 2005

“Jennifer Mabus is antic and giddy, but not to the point of abandoning Robert Battle’s aesthetic. She comes across as living calligraphy, arranging her body with utter clarity-and speed.”

Christine Temin, The Boston Globe, March 19, 2005

“Jennifer Mabus’ Chant De Paix,… unspooled like a dream full of mysterious but potent small gestures. The spellbound dancers were a bold Ms. Mabus and a lyrical Janie Brendel.”

Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times, October 20, 2004
