“…The work was raw, poignant…Part of the beauty of I’m sorry for your loss was this push-pull dynamic of Pritz apparently fighting and powering through grief while intermittently letting go and leaning into Lee’s physical support and care…Grief is a body-mind experience that language can rarely express. Pritz let her body tell her story. It was a tour de force.” -Gillian Renault, ArtsATL

“As a talented storyteller, Jacque brings in a lot of whimsical details that enrich the whole work and add extra layers to her characters. Her movement is as athletic as it is captivating.”
