Sydney 1994
An hour of masterly drawn movement and image where the pen never leaves the page... She has a presence and hieratic solemnity to her dancing that gives it the weight of a sibylline utterance, yet the work has a cool Euclidean logic in its geometry and layout... a body acted upon by deep and mysterious forces and her commanding expression resonates with those forces. It's like dancing turned inside out, if you like, and it is rarely seen on an Australian stage.
