Description |
"This season was a double premiere - it was the first full-scale production of this Theatre troupe and the first time Corporeal-Mime has been seen in a full-length show in Australia. The numbers are not written but grow out of many months of improvisation." Article
"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.
The preview in the Courier Mail (date unknown, August 1980) says the company performed on the Sunday, and gave workshops on Friday and Saturday. |
