Audience Comments

Gorgeous Work Josée! Brava

Loved it!

Great Concept! Beautifully trained dancers, Superb!

Beautiful movements with unique/diverse concepts

Musicians were amazing, very original score, very tricky, execution flawless, dancers were great, choreography was as well tricky and well executed, I am glad the dance company started with such great performance

Have your dancers gone on a fieldtrip through the mangrove tunnels “yes” I hope so that might prove beneficial

Great Dancers! Thanks for live music

Each element was embodied wonderfully the dances were well developed and thought out the music was a little unfitting, unpleasant at times I feel the projector might of been distracting at points as well. The lifts were strong and the choreography was really something to be revered

Excellent!

Great choreography, collaboration and live music!

You are an artist and your dancers, lighting designer and musicians did your work justice. Thank you and your staff for the wonderful performance.

The dancers were beautiful and your movement is thought provoking with moments of etched beauty that is carved in space.

I hope you realize what a success for a first performance you had in the size of your audience. That was a very nice house and what a wonderful response.

Congratulations!
