Amazing. The first piece, Fern, was so relaxing and then threating. Sitting
on the floor of the theater, i felt safe to enjoy the sound scape around
me but then the crazy woodcutter attached my senses. I really felt as if
I was at the bottom of a forest being threated by the town near by. Deborah
Slater's piece was fantastic: emotionally moving, excellent choreography,
great video work, and fun puppetry. I felt the show had the most depth of
any Fringe show I've seen so far.

Excellent!! This show is in two parts - in the first, you are encouraged
to sit on the stage blindfolded and LISTEN. The second is a dance theater
piece based around a small boat accident in the Galapagos. The first was
interesting although I didn't really get a sense of what was meant to be
happening. The second was possibly the best thing I've seen so far. It was
elegantly done - with moody music, projection that gave close ups of the
dancers and poignant voiceover. A very enjoyable and moving piece. Well
worth heading out to Venue 9 for!
