'Reviews' - what the critics say

A whole new approach to domestic chores: a scene from Kym Suttle's Mop Bop, part of the Dance in The Studio programme. From left are Wendy Mason, Henk Kodde, Selva Hannam, Liewellyn Malan and Mitya Sargeant.

The Stage:
"Dance in the Studio, which demonstrates the versatility of the Napac Dance Company, is the work of four choreographers who have created an original and challenging programme of contemporary dance...

...Completing the programme, in a lighter vein, are Afternoon of a Dinosaur- by NDC member Dina Erasmus - and Mop Bop by Kym Suttle, a member of the Loft Theatre Company."

Supplement to The Argus

FOOTAGE directed by Helen Traub.
With Kym Suttle, Anastasia Maw. (Arena Theatre)

"The standards of dance and of dance movement in this programme point to some very versatile theatre talent.
Kym Suttle and Anastasia Maw are excellent. They dance well, move dramatically, and display interesting thinking in their choreography. Suttle colours his works with a nice sense of humour, especially in his Mop Bop.
He also has a flair for patterning and composition, as shown in Incunabula.
Maw's Sweat, which she dances with Suttle, may make some viewers think of Dirty Dancing, but she imbues it with an emotional range which goes beyond this type of dance.
In Helen Traub's On Earth As It Is In The Sky, Maw is outstanding, both in her solo and in dancing with Suttle..."
