"Lily Conforti brings both her LCcreations Collective dance troupe and the band Oister Boy with her from Minneapolis to literally rock our world."
"I generally take copious notes at performances to help me remember what I’ve seen so I can better communicate the show’s intent. I found myself unable to write almost anything about the show because I was so awestruck with every second of it."
- Wendy Carson (plays with John and Wendy)

"It comes as no surprise at all to me that Lily Conforti’s newest LCcreations offering, I think we are supposed to be ‘Coming of Age’ by now…, is another joyful, raucous celebration of dance and community. That’s kind of their brand."
"Conforti’s choreography is so impressive, executed perfectly by herself and a tireless crew of dancers. You’re not liable to find a more fun dance show in the Fringe this year. They’re serious about dance. But they’re also serious about enjoying themselves, as is the band, and they want to make sure you enjoy yourself, too, whether you come up on stage for the dance party at end the end or not. I’m very excited to see whatever they do next."

"A suave pas de deux bam pumps into an ear-splitting rock number, and we’re on a 60-minute rollercoaster across dance genres with a company of seven dancers and five musicians/vocalists spot-on as mood-missionaries with an introspective-public show of collective/private rebellion."

Return to childlike imagination with Corpus Dance Works’ “All The Hullabaloo.” The Twin Cities group’s performance is captivating and whimsical, as the dancers’ combination of sharp and fluid movements never leave room for a dull moment. Intermissions are met with humorous monologues, questioning why adults overcomplicate life and asking questions like, “What if we could save the world in our pajamas?” Props are inventively used to create fruit-cereal rain showers, bedsheet rowboats and cardboard cut-out starry nights. The show invites the audience to revisit what it was like, once, to play make-believe.

Corpus Dance Works returns to Minnesota Fringe for a piece that weaves together dance, pantomime and breakfast cereal. Three years after graduating from the University of Minnesota with degrees in dance and physiology, Conforti summons childhood whimsy and nostalgia into a work driven by nostalgia and bright colors.

Whether it’s the melancholy WWII ballad “We’ll Meet Again” or the Talking Heads’ buoyant “This Must Be The Place,” Billie Holiday crooning “All of Me,” or a hard rock song, this dance troupe finds a way to slip, slide, twirl, bounce, bop and contort the human form into something that glides or flies around the stage under the Southern Theater’s massive stone proscenium arch and up against its brick back wall, using the whole area to create multiple pictures and stories in different parts of the stage, sometimes overlapping one another.
