“Leatherwing Bat . . . beautifully straddles the line between the whimsical and the poignant, never allowing easy definition of its intent . . . the willfully childlike lyrics work in odd yet resonant tandem with the focused movement, which shakes ballet’s tight forms into looser shapes with a lovely fluidity and use of idiomatic, everyday gesture.”
–The New York Times
“Leatherwing Bat is a sentimental revisit to childhood seen through the adult eye of whimsical irony that is both sad and sweet. It also shows what sets this company apart — a depth of emotional eloquence that adds resonance to every movement.”
–Idaho Statesman
“. . . with his affecting Leatherwing Bat . . . [McIntyre] evoked playground games and childhood innocence lost -- and proved that one can make great art by responding honestly to such unlikely musical material as ‘Puff the Magic Dragon.’”
–The Times – Picayune
“Leatherwing Bat evokes an absorbing atmosphere of memory, magic, and melancholy.”
–Ballet-Dance Magazine
