Reviews of Taciturn from CDF: Open Your Eyes (copyright Mikah Smillie)

"The piece used the company as its main subject matter; they exposed quirks of their personas and relationships in spoken text, spatial and gestural patterns.  Neither heady nor emotive, it was the kind of work that played with lightness, simply enjoyed itself, and allowed you to feel as if you could hum along, and then catch yourself carried along like the cardigans that were interchanged among the dancers. " - Mollie McLelland

"The “human” level on which this piece operated gave me the classic warm-and-fuzzies, and I really enjoyed its honesty and lack of pretence.  There was a definite sense that these women work as a sisterhood and to be involved in that as an onlooker was a real pleasure. Not only this, but all four of them are clearly very accomplished technicians. I look forward to more Bobs, more Jens and hope that Michelle can continue to embrace her individuality…" - Anna Crofts
