In the end, the outstanding Stephanie Miracle dances a solo in front of the other [performers], who have grouped themselves cross-legged to the audience. A wonderful dance piece that vibrates inwardly. (translated from original German)

Miracle’s premiere is nothing short of a revelation, set on a group of truly present and positively delightful dancers in muted pedestrian clothing…. The piece resembles the iconic and nuanced dancing of a Charlie Brown film at moments, with an irreverence that makes you smile unconsciously, but the difference between Miracle and Charlie Brown is that while both are irreverent, nothing is superfluous about Miracle’s choreography and everything looks effortlessly meticulous.

The dance performance of Anna Shchekleina and Stephanie Miracle “Paper Piece" unfolded, very delicately capturing us in each scene, as if lifting it above the ground, and gently bringing it back to life, to immediately draw the next turn of events on the stage, allowing the viewer to touch land only slightly in the transition from one scene to another.

Miracle uses choreography to ask questions about movement and life. There is a confidence about her work, and she isn’t one to play down to her audience, so she doesn’t feed you the answers to her questions…she relishes in the uncertainty of not always knowing the answers to the questions she poses, and as such she comforts her audience in that uncertainty while they search for the answers.

In [Figure Eights], the physical realities of space intersect with the supernatural in a way that make the dancers and the audience reconsider movement. It's a collage of motions that's never the same twice.

[Fork] was enjoyable and fun with a river of meaning flowing through it. Folsom and Miracle exhibited simultaneously fearless and organic performance.

Miracle’s eye for costuming is truly remarkable, in both her combinations of colors, patterns and textures onstage.

Change of scene - first a young guy in a blue jacket appears, plays football. Then a guy in a yellow jacket. Stephanie Miracle and Uwe Brauns of "Fakers Club" roll down the embankment. The four start to invade the old school. …. A spectator: "They conquered and transformed the whole [location] with their bodies!” (translated from original German).
