simonbfisher Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I must say that I nearly left in the interval, so unimpressed was I with 'Inked', which started 16 minutes late and contained little or no dance, but a whole lot of skidding around on kneepads and drawing circles on the floorcloth. The eyes on the shoulder-blades (it's a long story ...) were momentarily interesting but soon seemed cartoonish and irritating ..... To me. at least, a piece of little merit. HOWEVER - 'Murmur' was quite different. I was sceptical about a dance piece about dyslexia, but it turned out to be compelling, beautiful, innovative ... Mr Odedra emerged as a fascinating character; he danced with light projections, with paper shreds, with lengths of silky material, with ten electric fans, and it all made sense. It was moving and, I'll say again, beautiful. I'm so glad I stayed for it, and hope it re-emerges somewhere soon. And yes, it WAS about dyslexia and very insightfully so too.
