"[Kyle] is an artist who works in live performance in a meta way, moving objects and figures and his own body through space with the sensitivity of a choreographer, thinking about narrative like an experimental theater director, and creates objects and sets like a visual artist." –Lane Czaplinski, On the Boards Artistic Director (2012/13 Season)
