Comments and Reviews from 06/07:

On Sophia di Martino's Finding Audrey Cole:

I see this as a wonderful piece of work, not only has the piece affected me with mood and atmosphere but it captures everything I want to see and do as well.. interactivity, experience and leaving with something. I will remember this always (Audience Member, Warrington).

On Greg Foster's It's not As Bad As It Looks: Greg Foster delivers the most energetic and engaging performance in It's Not As Bad As It Looks. An acutely observed, cringingly real study of the life of a door-to-door salesman (Liz Oâ€™Neill, PANDA, Manchester).

I'd like to meet:

******NEWS ON MARCH 08**********

Due to ill health, Leentje Van De Cruys won't be touring with us in March. However, keep an eye out because the Best Party Ever might be cropping up another time! We wish her all the best for a speedy recovery!

07/08 In Transit Artists are:

DRUNKEN CHORUS ARTS COLLECTIVE, Lancaster

Chris and Emma have been making work together for the past two years. Their work ranges from installation to site-based performance and from theatre pieces to durational works, and is concerned with retelling and remapping stories and journeys. Thematically, the work often explores Chris and Emmaâ€™s own relationship to each other and their surroundings through the use of metaphor. www.drunkenchorus.co.uk

LEENTJE VAN DE CRUYS, Belgium/Lancaster

Leentje is a Belgian artist and theatre maker living in the UK. She studied at the Lemmensinstituut in Belgium, Leuven. Since then, she has been making mainly solo work, both performances and installations.

She has worked in several roles for Fabuleus (an organisation that provides young artists with time, space, advice etc), performing, writing and directing younger artists. She has also toured with her own theatre monologue, Rauwkost (based on the work of Dutch writer Marian Boyer), playing at several venues and festivals in Belgium, including Theater Aan Zee (Oostende) and Kulturama (Leuven). www.nuffieldtheatre.com

Levantes Dance Theatre, Manchester/London/Newcastle

Levantes Dance Theatre is an innovative fresh pairing of artists Bethanie Harrison and Eleni Edipidi. The emphasis of their work is on exploring, submerging themselves and audience in visual landscapes which glorify normality and send the imagination loopy. Regularly using props, costume, audio and video to assist in their creations. Levantes Dance Theatre rarely present conclusions and acknowledge the bodies capacity to communicate in its most basic form. www.levantesdancetheatre.org
