"Light & Shade - TasDances' Autumnal gift was the world premier of Chrissie Parrott's exhilarating piece of chiaroscuro. A seduction beginning with playful rivulets tumbling stones swirling to frenzied eddies and cascades of limbs and bodies; lithe and perfectly taut, drawing pictures with the mysterious syncopations of Japanese Haiku  - spare and engaging.

'Lit for a moon-scape, bodies shadow-danced to Jonathan Mustard's score Swimming the Luna Sea - of Beethoven gravitas with the lilting Javanese scale evocative of Balinese anklongs was particularly moving.

'As Moon Goddess supported by her swirling attendants of white luna blooms, Trisha Dunn was hypnotic: beautiful white face - an Onnagata in Kabuki theatre -an iceberg shrouded in mist - like a childhood doll that speaks in a nightmare.

'This piece was evocative of Japanese ghost stories populated with Suffi dancers of the Mysterious East."
