DANCE PRESS QUOTATION:


''Onstage, McKie is Svengali, turning himself inside out.''
-Dance International Magazine


''...of Ballet’s stars, Evan McKie is one of the brightest...’’
-Danse (Paris)


''...McKie’s brilliant portrayal of the jealous poet Lenski left the audience literally breathless...’’
-Ludwigsburger KreisZeitung


‘'..The tall, strapping, dirty blond boy with the catchy Scottish name exudes a noble purity but doesn’t realize it...He is the perfect candidate for roles that require classical perfection and yet he has also managed to accumulate an astounding list of today's avant-garde choreographers who have created especially for him...''
-Stuttgarter Nachrichten


''...known for his passionate lyricism
in both classical and contemporary roles...’’
-DANCE Magazine USA


''Lithe and elegant, McKie isn't the sort of dancer who tends to wield flat-out emotion. He's not a reckless, in-your-face exponent of aggressive technique either. It goes much deeper.... (In) finding a darker, more provoked heart in Hamlet, he summons resources of great intellect and phycological pain. It is his remarkable technique, inner tension that makes McKie a Hamlet for today...''
-Dance International Magazine


''...McKie is such a dream cast that he is almost the perfect
model for the role of Siegfried in this 'Swan Lake'...’’
-Stuttgarter Nachrichten


''an exquisitely pure interpretation combined
with flawless technique...''
-Der Neue Merker (Vienna)


Critics Choice young dancer to watch.
-Gary Smith & Dance Europe (London)


''He is visceral, make no mistake about that!'' -Dance International Magazine


World famous shōjo manga artist Kyoko Ariyoshi was recently inspired to draw Evan for the spring 2010 issue of Japan's Dance manga ''The Swan Magazine''. Out Now
