“Standing before us with blood staining his chiseled cheeks, Mr. Dimchev brought to mind the words of Merce Cunningham, who once said about dancing, ‘It gives you nothing back, no manuscripts to store away, no paintings to show on walls and maybe hang in museums, no poems to be printed and sold, nothing but that single fleeting moment when you feel alive.’” Stage Where the Blood is Real and Freshly Drawn by Gia Kourlas, New York Times May 2011
