What the critics are saying

  • 'Rotor is exhilarating, offered with the finesse that always marks Davies' work. Stimulating and worthwhile.' ***** - The Financial Times
  • 'Marked by an intense thoughtfulness, an interest not only in movement itself but in the ideas it can spark… Engrossing.' **** - The Daily Telegraph
  • 'With regard to the relationship between dance and visual art… ROTOR opens up the debate further… (Davies') contribution to the current discourse around dance and visual art is crucial.' - Art Monthly
