Description Anne Forbes, with direction by Nick Blake, gives a solo performance of "Out of Hand," inspired by a dream and involving a fridge, marmite jar, eggbeater, doll, dough, birdcage and birthday cake. Anne Forbes calls it "A performance for Objects" ; it's about the Babies and Baking. "Whimsy, memorable and religious awe were unexpectedly fused into assured performance", said the NZ Listener.
