GRIMM (2021)
"The dancers ... are a dazzling collection. With dynamic skill, they perform choreography that channels every part of their bodies in small, singular moves to dozens of different and often surprising angles" Jill Sykes, Sydney Morning Herald
"With its world premiere of GRIMM, the Sydney Choreographic Ensemble has certainly set the bar high. Artistic Director Francesco Ventriglia’s choreography was an excellent showcase for the individual talents of the cast." Geraldine Higginson, Dance Australia
"The choreography is fast and ... furious, with movement that makes a bold contemporary statement, while based on classical technique ... the dancers dazzle as they perform sharp, intricate steps that exude an exhilarating urgency and passion, along with some lovely, lilting lifts." Jo Litson, Limelight Magazine
