Reviews

“a superb example of dance with a political conscience, sometimes hard to watch but hard to forget” Donald Hutera, The Times, Oct 2003

"Current affairs and related issues rarely make their way into dance, and not necessarily because audiences don't want to know. For all the ability of movement to convey fine shades of meaning, it has never been much good with facts. But that didn't deter the choreographer Darshan Singh Bhuller from making a piece about Bosnia a few years ago. Planted Seeds was an astonishing work - stirring, brutal, ugly in parts, and unforgettable. It was impossible to see it and remain unmoved or uninformed, and as such it achieved as much as any TV documentary, and in many ways, more." Jenny Gilbert, Independent on Sunday, Feb 2003

“100 times more powerful and more devastating than any text … Not only does the choreography emote, the crafting of the steps … is totally ingenious” Emma Manning, The Stage, 1999

“I have rarely encountered anything so searing, so shaming … this is important work that needs seeing” Jenny Gilbert, Independent on Sunday, 1999
