'Casanova is a handsome piece of work, and Tindall has every reason to be proud of it.' - Luke Jennings, The Guardian
​
'Credit for this opulent and thoroughly enjoyable ballet must go to the entire team, however, most of whom (Tindall included) have never created a full-length ballet before. Kerry Muzzey’s score is wall-to-wall drama and beauty, Christopher Oram’s set and costume design is ravishing, and Tindall’s movement heralds a choreographer of incredible promise.' Kelly Apter, The Scotsman
​
"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' -
Mark Brown, The Telegraph
