REVIEWS ABOUT TRISTIAN’S WORKS

ASHES, 2023. Griffin’s curvilinear vocabulary in this piece felt a bit more classical and less abstract than that in prior works of his I’ve seen (such as The Missing Peace, 2022) – yet no less intentional and no less satisfying.

Controlled Chaos, 2022. “Tristian creates a very articulated, isolated, sequential movement,” Malashock says appreciatively. “He comes from strong training in ballet and modern dance. I find his style an interesting balance to mine.”

—John Malashock, Malashock Dance

ASHES, 2023. the world premiere of Tristian Griffin’s Ashes, a work both clear and full of mystery, daring but also welcoming.

The Missing Peace, 2022. The large, vibrant ensemble found unity through Griffin’s unique movement vocabulary – which offered strikingly athletic, inventive re-molding of classical form. Some talented dancemakers manage to find wholly original shapes and movement pathways, when it sometimes feels like it’s all been done before – and, to me, Griffin is one of those dancemakers.
