"SPACETIME DANCE & HUMAN LANDSCAPE DANCE IN TOPOGRAPHIES", 11/18 - DC Dance Journalism Project
"Drake’s movements were fascinatingly minute — a hand reaching to pluck something out of the air, spreading and contracting her toes while her leg perfectly suspended in space."

"SPACETIME SUITE", 9/16 - DC Dance Journalism Project
"Each process and movement section was well thought out and rich with substance."

"They seemed fantastical water bugs, maybe in a mating ritual: seductive, lovely, inhuman."

"CLEVER HOMININI", WILD SPACE DANCE COMPANY 5/15 - JSOnline.com
"the piece featured Drake and Kraker in a vigorous, precisely choreographed piece that found them moving in tight sync"

"CLEVER HOMININI", WILD SPACE DANCE COMPANY 5/15 - MilwaukeeMag.com
"It begins with Sopoci Drake on hands and feet, slowly and sinuously moving across the stage, torso flexed this way then that. From there, it erupts into precise duets. More floor work, with decisive and controlled vocabulary."

"ALL AT ONCE", MORDINE AND COMPANY DANCE THEATRE 10/13 - Examiner.com
"Katie Sopoci Drake (in town from D.C. specifically for these performances) in her white jeggings and white sports bra steals the show. Sopoci Drake's lines and fluidity are unmatched..."

"ALL AT ONCE", MORDINE AND COMPANY DANCE THEATRE 10/13 - SeeChicagoDance.com
"Visiting from D.C. to rejoin the cast, Katie Sopoci Drake came bursting out of the wings in a sports bra and white jeggings with a powerful opening that completely justified the trip across country."

"CLEVER HOMININI/ LOCALE", WILD SPACE DANCE COMPANY 6/12 - Third Coast Digest
"Katie Sopoci and Javier Marchan-Ramos moved through their Locale like a couple of crouching tigers. Sopoci, showed a sinuous, animal presence of great power; watching her dance is a visceral experience."

FLORENTINE OPERA, SEMELE 2/09 - JSOnline
"A supporting case comprising Jason Abrams, Jason Hardy, Greer Davis-Brown, Rafael Luquis and dancer Katie Sopoci were perfect."
"The Florentine Opera Chorus - 20 voices for this show - sang, danced and acted with a level of skill, confidence and naturalness I never imagined possible."
"...the best Florentine show I've seen in 26 years of watching."

GOODBYE TO KATIE SOPOCI 6/09 - Journal Sentinel
"She is a fine dancer, with a particular sinuous quality. Sopoci had studied capoeira, the Brazilian dance/martial arts form, and absorbed its pantherine, low-to-the-ground idiom. It was always a thrill to see this lithe, beautiful woman move in that way. She also has great awareness of her body as a sculptural object. She arranges herself in the most arresting ways and is as fascinating in stillness as in motion."

WILD SPACE DANCE COMPANY, BALANCING FORCES 11/07 - Journal Sentinel
"These dancers are adept at fluid and expressive movement through the torso. Sopoci makes a specialty of such movement. I suspect that we have her to thank for intermittently flooding this show with a sinuous, sensual beauty that was most beautiful of all on Sopoci's own body."
"I WISH I WAS A CAT", WILD SPACE DANCE COMPANY 12/06 - Journal Sentinel
"She can throw a staccato change-up by turning her curvy hips and nobly held shoulders with the precision and specificity of a quartz clock."
"I WISH I WAS A CAT, WILD SPACE DANCE COMPANY 12/06 - On Milwaukee
"It was a beautiful marriage between choreography, music and poetry."
