Description |
2 performances: one lunchtime for students, one evening. both filmed.
"...the public (will) see a variety of styles of playing - lyrical, dramatic and comic.... Corporeal-mime... stimulates the imagination, because it is an evocative art. These moving actors perform on an uncluttered stage."Quote from Jill Sykes, review of first season at St John's Hall. Used on the publicity for repeat season at Seymour Downstairs.
"Elisabeth Burke and Pierre Thibaudeau have astonishing mastery over their muscles. Their skilful shifts of weight and balance can be caught and held as surely as a film might be halted in mid-action..." Jill Sykes, SMH.
