“Wow what a show!”
Published November 01st 2007, Posted in Northland
Pauline Allen-Downs, double pass ticket winner to the 10th Anniversary show of Touch Compass Dance Company at Forum North, Whangarei last night said after the event “Wow what a show”. Some of the words that come to mind to describe the show are; thought provoking, entertaining, out of the ordinary.
The whole cast worked synergistically together with energy to match throughout the whole show. The children in the audience appeared as enthralled as the adults throughout the whole event.
It was difficult to pick a highlight as the whole performance was fantastic. Overall a humbling experience, thank you for the opportunity.
