Program Notes: Many different animal species experience the world through ultra-violet light. In this work the dancers become soaring birds or fossicking insects, on a journey through the musical landscape to discover colours beyond the edges of our visible spectrum.
"Exquisite, memorable beauty."

"Every move seemed effortless, despite the difficult lifts and exacting precision required, particularly in group work. Otherworldly, complex, delightful, exquisite and memorable."
- Otago Daily Times
