Recognition Of her 1994 evening of one acts, Cinoman and Rebeck, The New York Times wrote "Ms. Cinoman gets the evening off to an intriguing start with The Bull, a mordant twist on the bullring's classic dance of seduction and death," and made note of her additional offerings, The Sineater of Cork, Hysteria, and Truth and Sex, noting that "Like many such collections, this one has shortcomings as well as talent and promise." Awards and nominations Cinoman won an Aristos Award in 2009, given for objectivity in arts criticism, scholarship, or commentary, for a comment she made on the weblog "Community Perspectives: Riffing with John Clinton Eisner".
