"Ms. Moos, herself, is an intuitive artist with analytical abilities and theoretical knowledge, as well as creative instinct. Her practice allows her the appropriate vocabulary and peers respect to obtain detailed information, that can be challenging for one from a purely theatre history training. She understands her roles, either as a designer or critical theorist, as well as the traverse between them. As part of her residency, she held a lecture and demonstrated highly accomplished international expertise and visionary–insight–into–this_subject. Moos' proactive investigation of experimental and avant-garde design in relation to the performance of the performers and audience, is vital to the genre".
