Press on Camera Illuminata (December 2004):

"Learn to say Dušan Týnek.  You may see this .... choreographer's name in lights.   With a range of talents and choreographic tools ... [Týnek] is not afraid to dance with the masters. He is one of the few choreographers today working with plastique like Ashton did."  - Lori Ortiz, Gay City News [PDF]

"Týnek's choreographic flights of fancy [are] alluring ... fascinating ... powerful" - Jack Anderson, The New York Times [PDF]

"The Pink Tree [is] astutely constructed and beautifully danced ... of 85 choreographers [at the 2004 Dancenow/NYC Festival], Dušan Týnek stood out for his skill at implying feelings through movement" - Tobi Tobias, The Village Voice [PDF]

"Dušan re-invents the language ... of modern dance ... with ingenious combinations and resolutions ... dynamic changes are everywhere ... and lifts don’t happen except from necessity, from deep arousal or ecstasy. Dušan has broken the rules ... within a well worked-out structure, and with a knowledge of what [he] was breaking and why. Dušan is a brilliant and promising young choreographer, who has a rich knowledge of the art (art and music and theater) of Western civilization - something much needed in the art of dance if it is to continue to flourish and be taken seriously. He raids the past in order to re-invent it as Bartok did with Bach ... he is the Bartok of dance — much as Humphrey was the Bach of dance. " - Ina Hahn, Director of the Windhover Center for the Performing Arts

Press on Debut presented at the Kitchen (December 2003):

"[Pilot's Dream] is more than ingenious or neatly shaped: it’s a beautiful, ranging epic, filled with dramatic surprise and expertly shaped choreographic events ... Pilot’s Dream announces a choreographer with a future to which one looks forward, in a time and a place where so many other hopes for the art of modern dance seem end-stopped ... [Týnek is] a dance poet, and a very rare one." - Mindy Aloff, The DanceView Times [PDF]

"luminous with imagination ... filled with vision, charm and wit ... art that preserves uncorrupted the poetic fantasies of childhood" - Tobi Tobias, The Village Voice [PDF]
