The Divine Comedy
The Robin Howard Theatre, The Place/Derby Dance Centre, 2003-04
"(The choreographer’s) ambitious interpretation of Dante’s journey through Heaven and Hell, strongly performed by the seven-strong company,
was a highly promising debut work that took drama, comedy and the descent into madness in its capable stride. (The choreographer’s) highly theatrical, musical style, cherrypicks from a selection box of influences…”
Keith Watson (The Place)
“The work was at its most watchable when it hit notes of high surrealism such as in the Heavenly scenes of The Divine Comedy. The dance vocabulary broke down into some freer feeling, and the performers appeared to be genuinely enjoying the mad frolics”
