The oxford handbook of screendance studies 

"Catherine Galasso’s Bring on the Lumière!  [...] reclaims the early history of cinema for dance [...] and suggests if we can understand what celluloid meant for corporeality perhaps we can deepen our sense of what “recorporealization” might mean for screendance in the future."

​
"In 'Of Grantie and Glass,' the choreographer Catherine Galasso uses the Winter Garden's marble staircase as a singular stage" ​

Presented at Staten Island's Snug Harbor, "CITY OF WOM_N: Harbor" is the first in what Catherine Galasso aims to be five site-specific dances in each borough.

"Keith McDermott, who appeared in the original production, directs with the choreographer Catherine Galasso. They have cast four dancer-actors (including the downtown favorite Jess Barbagallo), put them in neat cocktail attire and urged them toward an attitude that combines high intensity and low affect."​

A fresh breeze: galassos and de groat 
​

"NOTES ON DE GROAT WAS DONE WITH SUCH CLARITY, LOVE, AND SLY WIT THAT IT WON ME OVER. YOU FELT A TUG FROM THE PAST, BUT MORE THAN THAT, AN EXCHANGE WITH THE PAST."

"GALASSO'S PLAYFUL WORLD MARRIES HER CONTEMPORARY APPROACH TO PERFORMANCE ROOTED IN THE AVANT_GARDE, WITH ELEMENTS OF PHYSICAL HUMOR, MARVEL, AND A CINEMATIC GAZE THAT ARE HER TRADEMARK."
BY SIOBHAN BURKE
"If you weren't part of the post-modern dance scene in 1970s about Andy de Groat, an imaginative minimalist who moved to France in the '80s, leaving behind few traces of his work. The choreographer Catherine Galasso, born in 1982, is well aware that his dances, if not performed, could be forgotten on this side of the Atlantic."
