“The work projects fierce states of emotion, purposely applied and channelled through breath-taking partnering, entrancing images, and fuelled by Eden Mullholland’s signature style score.” Chloe Klein | Theatrereview

“While Foster-Sproull’s movement animates the dancers, it is Eden Mulholland’s rhythmically immersive score that drives events along and gets into your blood. Despite his many past successes, this could well be his best-ever score for dance.” Raewyn Whyte | NZ Herald
