Testimonials and Reviews
"Juliet's choreography is original and innovative. She has the unique ability to match movement with raw emotion and create dances that are both beautiful and truthful. As someone who has danced her choreography for nearly 10 years, I can attest that Juliet's choreography is one-of-a-kind and much more than a combination of steps. Her incredible enthusiasm allows her to communicate her vision to dancers and inspire them to tell a story with every count."
-Mary Polidan, Dancer
"Juliet is one of the most amazing dancers and choreographers I have ever met in my 41 years of performing! She dances with every ounce of her body and I am in awe of how her body tells each story. She choreographs with such patience and enthusiasm and is uplifting and inspiring to those who are not always the greatest dancers. Juliet treats ALL her dancers with the utmost respect and makes me want to be a better dancer! How lucky I am to be cast in a show with Juliet as the choreographer and I only hope there will be more dances to collaborate on in the future!"
-Pam Hacker, Performer with the Rodeph Sholom Theatre Company
"Juliet is a great teacher/choreographer for all levels. I myself am not a dancer but she was able to convey and breakdown even the most complicated of routines and make them manageable and easy to learn."
- Steve Liskiewicz, NYC Actor, Improvisor, and Voice Over Artist
"The piece is exceptionally well-rehearsed, with director Juliet Fixel's compelling choreography being masterfully executed by the universally strong dancers. The ensemble's deep investment in the piece is obvious and stands out among the sometimes minimal production values of Fringe shows."

"Juliet Fixel has a talent in storytelling through movement. Setting a piece with Juliet is always a collaboration while she allows her dancers the liberty to interpret the movement to fit the character. Her work is not only rich with meaning, but also quirky, fun, and ambitious. Juliet’s choreography fascinates both the performers and the audience."
- Jessica Bill, NYC Dancer and Actor
"Working with Juliet was such a pleasure. She is talented, creative, and fun! ...and knows how to work with dancers at all levels!"
-Shoshana Parets, Performer with the Rodeph Sholom Theatre Company
"The direction and choreography, by Juliet Fixel, is dynamic and aggressive in a good way. The large cast fills out the playing space, compelling you to engage with the movement. The choreography flows with the rhythm of the text, and feels satisfying to experience. When the entire ensemble dances together, the theatre pulses with excitement. Etheral, lyric-less music accompanies the production, always setting the mood."
-Molly Marinik from Theatre is Easy about Salamander Stew in the NYC International Fringe Festival 2011
"Juliet Fixel is one of the best choreographers I've ever had the pleasure of working with both as a producer and as an actor. Not only does she deliver an emotional, artistic vision to everything she touches but she also creates an atmosphere to explore and create. She brings a fresh approach to any piece and can breathe new life into any song. She is organized, detailed, and will always bring the best out of any dancer or performer. Aside from her beautiful choreography, she is an absolutely joy to be around and helps make the rehearsal process smooth and focused."
-Megan Boyle, NYC Actor, Director, and Producer
