"I haven't yet had much of a chance to get into the new issue, but it smells deliciously good with that fresh printing smell and it looks all fat and juicy and thick with promise. During the evening's "smoke break" (ahem, I am no longer a smoke break participant), I checked out Lindsay Zier-Vogel's two poetry contributions. They, alone, were worth the price of the issue. Terrific work..."

CBC Metro Morning's What's Goin' On Feature - September 3, 2007 ~ Aparita Bhandari
"In Annie Oakley: Git Your Gun, Lindsay Zier-Vogel explores the dual worlds of cow-gals through paper and soft-scultpure installation. Annie Oakley, for instance, not only split playing cards into two with a bullet, but also sewed her own clothes. The exhibition is based on a poem by Zier-Vogel, first published in University of Toronto's literary journal echolocation. Zier-Vogel is a writer, choreographer, book-maker and arts educator. To find out more about Annie Oakley: Git Your Gun and other works by Zier-Vogel, check out her website, www.puddlepress.com."

eye magazine - June 8, 2006 ~ Lynda Spark
"Edith and Eliza, choreographed by Susan Kendal and Lindsay Zier-Vogel and danced solo by Kendal, was driven by subdued sounds interspersed with fractured samples of text by Zier-Vogel. In its delicious fusion of poetry with motion, Edith and Eliza used the wartime experiences of its titular characters to examine the triumph of womanly strength and sensuality over anxiety and restriction."

 

The Toronto Star - February 24, 2006 ~ Susan Walker
"Kendal paired up with poet Lindsay Zier-Vogel for Continued tales of a weathervane . The poet narrates, carrying her verses in a zippered bag at her waist, reading them off blue cards that she hangs on three copper weather vanes. The poems contain lots of weather images and phrases one imagines a mother passing on to her daughter: 'Keep your weather eye open' and warnings about 'fair-weather friends.'"


The Globe and Mail- February 11, 2006 ~ Paula Citron
" A who's who of Toronto's finest have collaborated with Ng on these works, which are aurally and visually stunning... There was even a resident poet, Lindsay Zier-Vogel, who transformed her impressions of rehearsals into written images that acted as an inspiration for Ng"

..."I consider it my role to prove that art doesn't have to be scary," she says. "It can be made accessible so that poets aren't just performing for poets, and dancers aren't just performing for dancers...

"PANTS ON FIRE. You know those two friends of yours you wish would just get it over with and hook up? Some feel that way about poetry and clothing, who have finally met their matchmakers in Susan Kendal and Lindsay Zier-Vogel, who design and print all manner of things at Puddle Press. They began pressing poetry onto clothes to create Puddles in my Pocket, which now presents Pants on Fire: the release of new, one-of-a-kind poetry pants and skirts, with poetry readings and live music. Good poetry + good clothes = true love 4ever"

CBC - July 20, 2004 ~ Go 2 It Girl ~ Marichka Melnyk
"WEAR YOUR WORDS: Toronto costume designer and Susan Kendal and poet/dancer Lindsay Zier Vogel worked so well together combining their talents in the world of dance, they decided to join forces in the world of fashion as well.The result is the Puddles in Their Pockets clothing line of summer tops, napkins and pillows, distinctive for pretty patterns and for the poems silkscreened on."

The Dance Current Magazine - December/January 2003/04 ~ Megan Andrews
Performance memories of 2003: "August: Lindsay Zier-Vogel's september sentence at fFIDA was a well-crafted and richly danced work that had a texture like embroidery on velvet."

The Globe and Mail - August 9, 2003 ~ Paula Citron
"Lindsay Zier-Vogel's September Sentence , for two dancers and two flautists, brings together a highly developed gestural and movement language to create an ambiguous picture of animal imagery and human labour."

eye magazine - August 2, 2001 ~ interview with Emma McIntyre
"The movement in Cedar Stories came to fruition entirely through improvisation. Contact sheets, audio recordings and Zier-Vogel's creative writing were all points of departure. Zier-Vogel and her cast experimented endlessly with the texts. Excerpts of her writing were rearranged until they were incoherent. The corresponding movement naturally evolved into something abstract."
