.The Place Theatre: Founders Studio ‘Spring Loaded’ 15-18th April 2009
‘An outstanding installation. Fantastic to see the performers’ decision making - who to choose. The closeness I felt when she approached me made me want to be alone with her, to lengthen the experience - captivating’.
‘A beautifully intense performance, which I feel has resonated through me, and the performer gave such an inner glow.’
‘I imagine everybody felt wanted during this performance, which is unusual’
‘ ...she held my hand. and then just us looking down into the pool of mirrors. My skin became alive.’
‘It looked like every step Stine took was an adventure for her - really stunning.’
‘So beautifully hypnotic, calming yet unsettlingly intimate. A simple but surprisingly moving experience - thank-you.'
‘A fractured lake of reflections - shades of Cocteau’s Orphee’
‘Watching other people’s comfort and discomfort is fascinating in itself - left me with a quiet stillness, which I wish I could reach more often. Thank-you.’
‘Beautifully presented - I liked the thoughtfulness and small delights that Stine seemed to experience. It brought the audience in and we felt acknowledged’.
‘I stop. I watch. I look. I look again. This time more closely. Every detail is noticed. Water rushes around her curled body. I see you.’

‘You controlled my breath. Bold, beautiful, simple and speaking volumes.’
‘Intriguing - like gazing at reflections in a pool of water, the surface ruffled by a breeze.’
‘I was in a trance the entire performance. I looked at my watch and couldn't believe 20 minutes had passed.’
‘Compelling, exciting and inexplicably charming.’
‘A really intriguing piece. Brought us down to the performance and made us part of it. As an audience we spoke at length about it afterwards - many thanks’
