"I am a dancer and a choreographer. When I’m dancing, I feel the power of gravity and the mysterious surge of space. As I move through time and space, I am conscious of the innumerable thoughts that are flowing through my mind. Dancing is mentally demanding and physically exhausting, but because dance is a social art, there is a lot of laughter during rehearsals and classes. The process of finding and making dances can be life-saving because it asks us to seek an understanding of the infinite mystery of the universe, which offers us both earthly and transcendent gifts."

“At times her dances may remind the viewer of early Graham – when Graham was herself still digging into movement rather than limiting herself to what had become a standardized vocabulary. At other times one is reminded that Soll’s early studies were with European modern dancers, so that Wigman and Jooss figure in her lineage. But most often what one sees is simply an altogether personal . . . dance imagery.”
David Vaughan, Dance Magazine
“Soll’s work is indeed unclassifiable, delicate, fraught with many of the finer elements of modern dance and often as close to poetry as performance movement comes.”
Sid Smith, Chicago Tribune.
“. . .sudden switches in intention, feeling, and direction are integral to Miss Soll's work - and leave one somewhat confused much of the time. But over it all there is a sense of the joy of dance - of simply the freedom to move, to experiment, to express - that leaves the viewer uplifted despite the complexity.”
David Wilck, Christian Science Monitor
“[Soll] stood still and just saw, her focus channeling distances so apocalyptic or visionary that we trembled as they appeared within the lens of this beautiful dance.
