Fine attention to detail, and I enjoyed the sense of you 'zooming' in and out on the body with very small to quite large physical actions. I thought the use of sound in the darkness was well considered, and your use of light was excellent (great blackout at end - in execution and effect). This created a strong atmosphere – of disquiet? – that was exaggerated by the sense of distance between the performer and the audience.

I felt, however, that your movement could have had more attention to detail - making it more complex, and difficult to perform? There were some quite 'recognisable' Limone-type actions, and I am definitely curious about the split leap as well!

PS I watched two versions of the work - one without an audience and one with. It seemed like you used the light in a more asynchronous way in the first version ... and it made for some quite distinct (and unusual) uses of the space (in relation to the light). This was less evident in the 'corrected' version.

A carefully considered use of sound and light, they linked perfectly. when the light was absent a use of fast and loud breathing could be heard and visa versa for when rigmor was visible. the use of quirky and shaking limb was a great exploration of movement that resonated through out the piece and the rest of the body. the peice was full of contrasts which gave the audience a sense of a journey that never got boring and kept me fixated from beginning to end. it was strong performance that showed a clear and direct approach from both performer and lighter.

However, the split leap into the light was disappionting because to me, personally it showed little correlation to the idiosyncratic and seemed a little too contrived. It was not as interesting as the small quirks and stillness that could be seen through out. Maybe some of the movement that we could hear but not see could have been interesting here instead ?

We really feel like we experimented with the movement a lot and developed it well into something neither of us would have come up with if we hadn't had this task. However, we could have thought about audience experience a little bit more. We were very focused on movement and really considered lighting and how it would all work together in the space, but forgot about how the audience would perceive this.
