" It [Rate of Exchange] explored the perspective of a non-expert, and how we as a community might begin to consider how we could restructure the economy to better serve the needs of more people.  The dancers constructed elaborate visual images to accompany the text: they occasionally broke into solos and duets, but often danced in unison, creating striking lines and a sense of community, of power and cohesion in trying to sort out this complicated muddle of a topic, something so large and daunting as the economy." - Lauren Sheely, audience

"...the show culminated in more direct learning with an elaborate text and movement piece, with Anna Banker eerily dressed in green, symbolizing money, the hot topic issue of the night.  The beautiful movements and staging engaged the audience throughout the piece and Banker's theatrical speech made the audience want to learn.  I wish my classes were conducted in this way." - Zoe Cronin, audience
