Review of BRICKLAYERS… on Culture Spot LA
- “Arianne Hoffmann continues the work of this breakaway dance generation by challenging the authority of the now-conventional movement score, reinvigorating the form with political significance, and re-asserting the power and responsibility of the performer… A performance has never brought me so close to taking action, and this might be the work’s greatest tribute to Hoffmann’s predecessors.” Anna Reed
Review of DOING BY UNDOING #2 - Los Angeles Times
- “Two improvisation-like pieces completed the program: Arianne Hoffmann’s “Doing by Undoing 2,” performed by Hoffmann and Kai Hazelwood, and Faye Driscoll’s “837 Venice Boulevard,” danced by Nikki Zialcita and the choreographer. Wry and well-executed, these 10-minute curtain raisers, the latter an excerpt of a work scheduled to premiere in New York in November, provided pure movement without pretense.” Victoria Looseleaf

Hoffman is the five-person cast’s comedian, vocalizing the grunts of cartoon combat or screeching “Deutschland Uber Alles” in what sounds like Chinese.”
