I saw it yesterday and was totally mesmerised and enthralled! Thank you for putting this on, it was incredible.
Did not want it to end. Such a treat to experience a work and performances of the quality we saw tonight. Thank you and everyone involved. Chookas for remaining performances. Shall promote!
The show that I did see last night was probably – I’m calling it- the best locally made dance work I’ve seen since being in Canberra... Bloody awesome work!
