Audience Reviews

Susan Scarth's rating

  SO pleased I saw these three pieces again - following their open rehearsal.  All were much tighter and slicker.  My favourite has to be Legitimate Bodies for its humour, political and social comment and its inventiveness.  2nd place I will put the extremely powerful and tender MAtch - which moved my husband to tears.  The first piece by Catapault Dance still felt disjointed - but then office life is like that!  However, the dancers move effortlessly and the music is strong, inventive and humourous.  Perhaps the inner meaningfulness could be left to the imagination and sling out the yellow boxes and the flipchart and pare the dance down to its core.  All said - this is a stunning programme. 

Who should go see it.
 Suitable for novice dance audiences of all ages and dancers at all levels.  Inspiring work!.
