"A whimsical paen to the gentle summertime polka of lawn maintenance... A dance that shifts between carefree ease...and the suggestion of arduous labor...Livieratos embraces the grace of classical dance forms like ballet with the acknowledgement of work... A witty reassessment of a quotidian activity...." -Felicia Feaster, Creative Loafing
