OtB's dressing rooms have been accumulating autographs, posters and gifts from artists over the years. The cast and crew of Heaven added to the collection with this modified can of hairspray:

Amy Mikel on Heaven:

Heaven succeeds in creating a soothing sound and visual study on what might be a disturbing topic. Thorson’s arrangement doesn’t shock, disgust or awe, but transcends the idea peacefully and with dignity. We liked this work very much, and left feeling refreshed, inspired and happy.

Jeremy Barker at the SunBreak had this (and more) to say about Heaven:

Teen Tix sent a blogger and her brother to check out the show this past weekend:

Morgan Thorson's Heaven provides us with a frozen spiritual. Set against a stark white back drop with floating icicle like beads and glistening sheer curtains on the side, the performance opens with the howl of a wind fan, as the dancers glide slowly in formation across the white floor. As the dancers thrashed against the stages back curtain, the ripples echoing through the fabric were reminiscent of evening winds frequently blowing snow across a frozen lake.

Michael Upchurch reviews Heaven at On the Boards:

"Thorson's Heaven is better described as ritual-movement theater than dance. It goes for trance-inducing pattern and sound, and only after the trance has been induced does Thorson delve into restless realms that ask for dance prowess from certain members of her company."

I was healed and delivered tonight at the Morgan Thorson/ Low performance at On the Boards. It was easily my favorite dance performance of the OTB season. I ended the show with a warm smile and cleansed of my transgressions. Don't miss it. You owe yourself something this good. So much of what usually attracts me to contemporary dance are the engaging synthetics of the modern oeuvre. I love the costumes and video projection and experimental/techno/deconstructed soundtracks. I love the intentional hyperbole of it all.

After Thursday night's performance of Heaven I sat with Spencer Moody and a small group of friends at Mecca and we traded thoughts on the collaboration between Low and Thorsen. Everyone agreed that the integration of musicians moving and dancers vocalizing was natural and seamless. More than that I was impressed by how empathetically involved the male musician, Sparhawk, was with the other performers on stage, and how clearly removed and sidelined the female musician, Parker, was- at times even 'taking a break' from the action on stage to catch up on some needlework.
