Reviews

My Brilliant Career, the much-anticipated new work by Cathy Marston, ended the evening’s program. It didn’t disappoint…On a stage bathed in warm light evoking the Australian countryside, with dancers in costumes of pastels and creams, the opening moments were captivating… Although My Brilliant Career is very much an intimate, character-driven work, there were also rousing toe-tapping moments of pure dance, when the company came together in a bush dance…successfully underpinning the whole work was the original and most evocative score by Matthew Hindson. 
Dance Australia (Denise Richardson), 19 June 2023

…the experience is both effortless and rewarding for the viewer…The collaborative approach between Marston and…Hindson is reflected in a score that marries perfectly with the movement qualities, from character signatures to settings traversing garden parties to bush dances… all the story’s critical elements are covered, and the essence retained. It’s an impressive achievement.
Limelight (Olivia Stewart) 19 June 2023 ****

…the neoclassical ballet is succinct, pacy and emotionally absorbing.
Bachtrack (Ruth Ridgway) 18 June 2023 ****

…the music by Hindson, played so beautifully…is stunning.
