Here's what the critics are saying:
"America's most electric and engaged destination festivals happen in New York City (Under the Radar), Portland (TBA), and Austin (Fusebox)." --Brendan Kiley, The Stranger (Seattle)
"Everything about this increasingly international bonanza of performance-based art just keeps getting more thrilling, more edgy and more entertaining."--Jeanne Claire van Ryzin, Austin American-Statesman
“I am of the firm belief that Ron Berry can do anything…His highest achievement, however, might the be the Fusebox Festival, which combines theater, dance, art, film and other forms in what some critics have called the most provocative such festival in the country” – Michael Barnes, Austin American-Statesman
“But Berry's crowning achievement may be the Fusebox Festival...each project has its own strange spark that attracts and fascinates, if only by making you wonder how the devil someone ever thought of such a thing. Put all these sparks together, and you have a charge that's almost irresistible, not just to audiences but also to artists, bringing them together and establishing - at the risk of overloading the old electricity metaphor here - a current that flows throughout all disciplines to generate new kinds of power and light.” – Robert Faires, The Austin Chronicle
“To me, Fusebox is about sparking conversations and cross-pollinations. We live in an era of specialization. It is so easy in this world to surround yourself with people who are just like you - who share the same tastes and talents and biases. Fusebox is about stepping out of these self-created bubbles for a few days.” – Best Selling author Dan Heath on Fusebox in an interview by Jeanne Claire van Ryzin, Austin American-Statesman
