Review: Warm as Summer, Bright as Blood, Fringe 2025

August 13, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood 4 Comments

A meticulously crafted folk fantasy, Cloud’s “Warm as Summer, Bright as Blood” transitions from melancholy to defiant anger. This is a show for the weird and wonderful, with great choreography and a powerful narrative.

Review: Raise the Barre, Fringe 2025

August 11, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

A dance spectacle that mashes up ballet and rock music. The dancers are phenomenal, and the energy is infectious. Though the show lacks a strong narrative, its diverse choreography and feel-good atmosphere make it a solid choice for a fun hour.

Review: The Anti “Yogi”, Fringe 2025

August 9, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Anti-Yogi is a powerful and intelligent show that combines a mesmerising physical performance with a deep dive into the cultural exploitation of yoga.

Review: Dance Dance Involution, Fringe 2025

August 4, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A surprising and spirited show that is less about dance and more about the vital cultural debate around work, life, and rebellion in modern Hong Kong. The three young performers are excellent in this comedic and emotional exploration of the ‘lying flat’ phenomenon. Highly recommended.

August 21, 2023 by Guest Reviewer Leave a Comment

Tutu is a therapeutic experience for anyone who feels confined by expectations. The show seamlessly blends slapstick comedy and philosophical insights, achieving its ambitious goals with flying colours.
