Adult Female Dancer

★★★★ “The result is a beguilingly honest portrait of dedication and resilience capped by a finale that proves Kay is a match for vintage Patti Smith” The Times, Donald Hutera

★★★★  “I wondered if this was what it felt like to see Isadora Duncan. A woman, strong and free, full of sadness and hurt, but also of power, defining her life in dance.” The Observer, Sarah Crompton 

★★★★  “Kay imparts her ever-physical style with the gravitas of age and the force of experience.”  The Guardian, Sanjoy Roy 

★★★★  “Rosie Kay had the stage presence of a 40-strong corps de ballet… how wonderful to find this empowering testament to the female body given the status it deserves”  The Scotsman, Kelly Apter 

★★★★  “it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a piece of dance theatre quite so moving and thought-provoking”  DanceTabs, Bruce Marriot 

★★★★  “In yet further proof of her courage as a performer, Kay seems to have left no stone unturned in this stoic confessional.” BachTrack, Graham Watts
