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
