Absolutely stunning
and breathtaking performance. I am currently
at Northern School of Contemporary Dance in Leeds
in my final year and would love the opportunity
to join a dance troop like ADT.

As
a birthday suprise for me my mum and dad took me
to see birdbrain. I pretty much cant have
imagined a better dance show to see. Along with
a favourite show in the past by the kosh in a church!!
So fast and energetic and the music just giving
me more of a buzz. All performers amazing. Could'nt
take my eyes off paul and the two oriental girls
who you just could'nt fault. Made my love of dance
even more obvious!!! Going to NZ in August. Do you
have any dates in NZ or AUS for that time? To cut
a long story short Paul, almost caught you at the
end. Want to have a chat. Went a bit shy! If you
ever in London, Fancy a drink?!! i know sounds crazy,
just being honest.....! anyway show was amazing.
Thanks for such a nice birthday night.

The
two dancers from the company were friendly and approachable.
Pushing us to our limits and setting us challenges,
which we all enjoyed. We are presently taking all
the new movement and ideas you have taught us to
create a dance of our own. We have all come out
in bruises, but like you say, no pain no game. Its
amazing how easy and little you make it look. It
was lovely to go and watch the performance and see
moves we struggled with, performed to perfection.
Thank you so much

Astounding, heartstopping, challenging and absolutely fantastic . As an audience
memeber it felt as though no one dared breathe, cough or rustle for fear of
missing one moment of the intense action. The atmpsphere of the auditorium was
electric, as if everyone had been stunned into a mesmirised trance by the
attack, virtuosity,commitment and sheer genius of the dancers and choreography
on the stage... please come back SOON!!x

Just been to see your show at The
Lowry - it was amazing! Have seen many contemporary
dance pieces in my time, having studied dance but
this is the best I have seen in a long time. Kept
my friend Ellie and I on the edge of our seats all
night! How lucky to be part of such a wonderful
dance company. Hope to see you in the Uk again soon

Saw the performance
on Friday at Stirling Uni - I am not a person who
normally goes to "dance" events, but was
tempted by the publicity. It was electrifying and
I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience including
the discussion afterwards. I have been raving about
it to everyone I have met since. Thank you for a
wonderful, wonderful, awe inspiring evening. I even
decided to take my yoga more seriously to see if
I can persuade my 55 year young body to achieve
some of the flexibility I saw on stage! Some hope,
huh?

The Birdbrain workshop was only a fragment of the sheer thrill and inspiration
that I recieved from watching the performance at Newcastle. I will remember you
guys forever, you have heightened my passion and drive to dance and I'm so
thankful to all of you. I never usually get as much pleasure from watching
contemprary dance as I do when performing, but ADT proved me wrong! You guys
ROCK!!!

Amazing non-stop dynamic performance.
Fantastic to see ballet moves danced to heavy electronic
music and interwoven with contemporary moves executed
with such energy and precision. The use of 'named
T shirts' was inspired. It brought in some really
good bits of humour as well as acting as a guide
to where we were at in relation to the Swan Lake
story.

of my chest,so exciting, so good,so when are you

I've just
got back. The show was completely awesome. The movements,
speed, agility, emotion were all so evident and
powerful. I loved the choreography and stylistic
features. Your energy is amazing. Congratulations!

Stunning
Outstanding Stupendous
I am shaking with
adrenaline, Fantastic!
A very interesting energetic dance performance,
overall I enjoyed it very much 10 out of 10!
Very contemporary! Good, interesting interpretation
of something that can be too traditional. (This
was not!)
A very good performance. The dancers were
excellent as was the choreography. A very
different version of Swan Lake. 10/10
Fresh & Brilliant. I'm shaking with
excitement 10/10 *smiley face*
Wicked!! I liked the lake bit, want to
go tumbling round the streets now!
Fantastic. I'd love to be able to watch
it again & again because I felt I missed so
much trying to absorb it al. Shame the lighting
made it difficult to see from high up.
Brilliant performance, filled with elegance and
fantastic moves! I would definitely come back,
given a chance!
Really enjoyable, the guy who shot the arrows
into the heart was sooo hot so very hot, I could
no longer concentrate!!
Wow! Amazing - loved it, never been to
see a dance @ theatre and its going to be hard to
beat this one!
Apart from 'breathtaking' this was one of the
most amazing dance performances ever seen! The
dancers were fantastic and the incorporation of
such a variety. Loved the yoga too!!
Amazing! Something different! Exciting
to see! New dance technique in its own right!
Tres beau colore vive la video et la musique
et surtout la dance sur sceine.
One of the strangest contempory's I have seen
but I loved it!
Brilliant but the music was rubbish!
FAB! A new dance technique in its own right.
Best thing I have seen in my life! The
workshop was a great insight to your great style!
WANT THE MUSIC Send me a CD!

Being
a relatively new dancer I was quite uneasy before
the workshop as our Dance teacher had just enlightened
us on how intense and full of energy the ADT dance
company were and thats what they were about. There
production of Birdbrain had reviews like 'A heart-stopping,
eye-popping hour and 15 minutes of pure genius -
a truly theatrical and demanding performance that's
funky, fast and furious.' Well if that doesn't get
a teenager pumped up and excited then the kid ain't
got any hormones! So there I was along with about
twenty others doing the 'nice and easy' warm up,
when in reality the lads couldn't even bend over
and touch the floor with the palms of our hands.
After the warm up we were privelaged to be allowed
to be taught a phrase of Birdbrain. 'YES!' however
my mental approach was not quite the same after
the first minute as it came apparent that a lack
of good movement memory combined with very fast
movement, (and a lot of it might I add!) that I
gradually began to lag behind the better dances
until i tripped over myself! But on a more serious
note the phrase we learnt was briliant, especially
as a group. I learnt a lot from the workshop and
felt a bigger urge to carry on dancing longer and
be more creative. I also felt very sore the next
morning, but boy it was worth it!! Thankyou ADT!

We had a workshop on
the Monday at Norton College and to be honest I
am usually negative about them but once we began
I felt totally reassured and loved the workshop
we did. The performers catered perfectly to our
abilities with understanding and everybody enjoyed
the set dances we learnt. We went to the performance
on the Tuesday with high expectations from the workshop
but nothing could have prepared us for what we saw.
Anybody interested in dance would love it as it
has many differnt types of dance cleverly choreographed
and structured together, which kept everyone entranced
and wanting to particpate in stretegicly flingling
thenselves across the stage. I loved it, please
come again soon!

Hi!
I am a student from North Tyneside college and i
just wanted to say "thankyou" for doing
the workshop with me today. I really enjoyed. It
was very funky and energetic. I loved the
last part best-really fast.
I am seeing the show tomorrow night at Newcastle
Theatre Royal and I can't wait. I am sure I will
have a great time. Good luck with the show.
Thanks
again.
