"Take one of the world's most enduring stories of passionate love and the madness it can engender, strip it down to its most basic elements, and infuse it with all the psychological tension and dread of film noir, and the result would be Tulsa Ballet's Carmen choreographed by Kenneth Tindall." -
James D Watts Jr, Tulsa World
'(Geisha) ultimately, it is Tindall's superlative skills as a choreographer, his very distinctive voice coming through and his ability to adapt this voice to express an unusual story, that makes this another winner,' - Deborah Weiss, The Dancing Times
'Luminous Junc•ture is a hymn of hope with a dance language both lyrical and brutal. Tindall makes you think while throughly enjoying every minute' -
Jeffrey Taylor, Sunday Express
Casanova is an impressive and exhilerating evening of ballet' -
