Reviews
...Enos pushed the boundaries of ballet,
making it relevant and exhilarating. He reminded us what dance can
do and why we love it.
...Enos’s work blew away that of his older colleagues. Perhaps in
the coming years he, like Forsythe, will push the limits of ballet
for his generation. But he's already got the talent to remind us
why we love dance, pure dance, movement and music conspiring to
hypnotize an audience. And if he can keep doing that for people, he
will be a success.
...his work Landing
was, quite
frankly, brilliant. [It] was not just a series of steps but an
integrated whole. Something that many choreographers never master
seems to come naturally to Enos.
...Enos has an unusually adept eve for both the big picture and the
details.

...Former
Hubbard Street dancer and choreographer Brian Enos has created a
fast paced, sophisticated piece in ajorca.

...Enos, Influenced by mentors or not, is a prodigy.
The Long Road
Home, his second
Cullen Series premiere, One again showed an impressive eye for
structure that makes it hard to believe he’s just 19 years
old.
...The kid’s got excellent instincts. Landing brought down the house.

...a
pure musical evocation... Alternately sexy, playful,
absurd,
and
quirkily exotic.
...A
second viewing of Brian Enos' new work, Diphthong, set to the hypnotic music of the
Belgian-based world beat band Zap Mama, revealed a new richness, as
well as a spiritual quality I hadn't detected the first time
around.

The
Ballet world doesn't pass it's torches often, so when a young
choreographer is featured alongside top-shelf dancemakers – as is
the case in Houston Ballet's “Mentors & Prodigy” - You'd better
believe the young'un is good.

...The veteran, Brian Enos, an old hand at
serious fare, spread his wings, and good for him. His "Blue Footed
Booby" sports a Caribbean-like beat and an insouciantly mix of
fun-loving show dance and underlying smart
design.

Smith – Chicago Tribune
Brian is an artistic directors
dream.
