"Powerful and at times gruelingly intense."
Alex Vickery-Howe, Real Time 2006
"Crush is different in the best possible, most challenging ways".
David O’Brien, Ausdance SA, aDm, 2007

"Strong work and musical elements (Composer, Alexander Mitchell’s live playing of crystal glasses is bliss) come to life, which…sear the imagination."
David O’Brien, Ausdance SA, aDm, 2007

"Moving from the melancholic to the erotic and exploring the fragility and innate cruelty of social experience, Crush is original contemporary dance performed with commitment and passion."
Alex Vickery-Howe, Real Time 2006
