 PAPER SKY: A LOVE STORY at Glen Eden Playhouse reviewed by Sian Robertson 6 Mar 2011 |
|
Magical, escapist escapade as enchanting as it is baffling Whether Lumina is real, or a figment of one of Henry’s poems, is unclear. In fact, the line is deliberately blurred – between worlds, between inside and outside, between imagination and the physical world. The set ... helps to create the contrast between the two lovers’ different worlds ... [more] |

A magical treasure The typewriter sets the scene at some decades ago. He’s snappily dressed for a writer who works at home, in a headspace awash with white paper. Because so much of the pleasure of Paper Sky arises from watching it all unfold, from interpreting the reality of his story and his stories as they all play out, to say much more may constitute a spoiler. But I want to capture its essence for the historical record. [more] |

Creative storytelling a delight Although a much more intimate and less substantial work then The Arrival, this production nevertheless still shows all the creative genius and flare of Red Leap founders and artistic directors Julie Nolan and Kate Parker seen in their previous productions. [more] |

Puppetry and illusion Red Leap Theatre’s production of The Arrival remains one of the most memorable, remarkable, technically complex and beautiful productions this country has seen.

 PARABELO/ONQOTO at St James Theatre reviewed by Greer Robertson 25 Feb 2012 |
|
Refreshing, indiosyncratic, virtuosic Brazilian dance Dressed in figure-hugging lycra with every sinew exposed to scrutiny, the dancers give their all. Again and again and again they repeatedly undulate, thrust, kick and sway in a truly unique way. On a bare stage with static visuals, floor patterns appear within the energetic choreography accompanied by percussion beats. Communication is via the move and the body, the body and the move.
