Quotes from:
James Keane, composer - I wanted to write something that was both beautiful and technical, about love and about mess. How people follow the same path in different ways, at different times and how they come together, move apart, how they clash and unify. And I like canon and variation forms, strictness and freedom, inevitability and evanescence'
Lizzi Kew Ross, choreographer - Poetry has been important to me throughout the process of creating the wok with the dancers.
'For some it is all darkness:for me too It is dark. But there are hands that I can take, voices to hear, solider than the echoes without. And sometimes a strange light shines, pure than the moon...' Groping - by RS Thomas
