Kokandy - American Psycho-10_edited.jpg

"Fight choreographer Kate Lass does wonders. The main killing knife that Patrick uses is impressive and looks to be 100% real, and thus dangerous. However, it is clear that the cast has been well-trained in the importance of safety. And despite the fights being safe for the actors, the fight choreography looks entirely real - even from the first row."

American Psycho

Kokandy - American Psycho-44.jpg

"It takes a village carving a path for bodies to follow, as evidenced by the invaluable efforts of intimacy coordinator Kirsten Baity, choreography assistant Quinn Simmons, and fight choreographer Kate Lass for their facilitation of movement throughout. Whether the story calls for sex, murder, or partying like it's 1985, brutality becomes beautiful in the hands of such capable artists."

"[Nicky] Jasper and [Kate] Lass breathe life and comedy into the plot with their Broad City-esque repartee."
