Their stunning achievement with the challenging and gorgeous
Jorma Elo piece, Plan to A, in this new triple-bill
programme, is patent proof of the success of this energetic
outreach. Elo has taken the international scene by storm with his
highly original choreographic work. It is intense and intensely
musical, funny, touching, quirky. Seven dancers - Clytie Campbell,
Antonia Hewitt, Lucy Balfour, Paul Mathews, Eliot Rudolph, Michael
Braun and Andrew Simmons - took the Aotea Centre by storm on
opening night, with their riveting performance in this most
riveting of choreographies. Closely clad in fiery red, fuelled by
the surging medieval violins of Heinrich Biber, they moved their
bodies and our astonished souls in ways most of us had never
previously experienced. Peak performance, for sure. - NZ Herald
