Audience feedback:

The concept of using dance to convey experience and emotions in relation to illness is not new, but it is rarely applied to portrayal of the experiences and feelings of real (living) people with devastating illness. This was something altogether different.
Tanztheater Adrian Look managed to capture the bewilderment, fear and anger at the time of diagnosis but also the degree of acceptance, and finally, a determination to go on living a meaningful life.
And the dancers were fantastic too.
TAL and and Movement for Hope deserve supporting!
