Audience comments from Corp de Ballet Triple Bill:

 “What a hugely impressive event last night – amazing; and what a great venue.  Makes me feel very embarrassed I only ask you to choreograph operetta!  Many congratulations.” 
Simon Butteriss -  Director; Wrtiter/Translator; Opera Singer.

“Thank you so much for the wonderful interpretations of my music. I was overcome by ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’ - but also found the other two completely ‘at one’ as creative works of art - as if we had collaborated and worked together over months!!! -  and they were really fab!!!” 
Ronald Corp OBE – Composer; Founder & Conductor New London Orchestra.

“I wanted to send heartfelt congratulations to you and all the dancers on last night’s beautiful performances and interpretation of Ron's music. It was a wonderful evening and there was a real buzz in the audience.
I was completely spellbound from the start with ‘The Yellow Wallpaper's’ menacing claustrophobia, all wonderfully Gothic and disturbing! The abstraction of Francis's text of Lullaby was beautifully interpreted by you both. ‘Songs of The Elder Sisters’ was a truly contemporary reading - my area of expertise is Buddhist art history and these stories (although not the poems) are well known in parts of India and Southeast Asia - so it was a delight to see them set in a contemporary idiom." 
John Glass - audience member.

“It was lovely to meet you and Paul last night and we are still reeling from your wonderful performance. All three pieces were very powerful and the multi-collaborative input really worked well. Your interpretation of each of the three pieces was dramatic and exhausting in a positive way. Even without the complementary blurb we could follow the "story" which is something that many choreographers struggle to convey to their audience. The three pieces contributed to the majority of the emotional and intellectual needs of your audience.” 
Gill and Richard Allen – audience members.

“Thanks for a lovely evening. I loved the quality of dancing of you all, beautiful and soft and very touching.”
