Review Extracts

“Antic is a triumph for Brandstrup, probably the only choreographer in Britain creating narrative works. Here he is particularly clear headed, extracting the essence of the plot, choosing only 10 easily identifiable dancers”

The Independent on Sunday

"

Kim Brandstrup’s latest work for his excellent Arc Dance Company is Antic, which he claims is only based on Shakespeare’s Hamlet. But no other wordless evocation of the play I have ever seen has encapsulated so powerfully, so clearly, the heart of the matter.
"

The Gaurdian

“…spectacular rendering of the story”
