Review:

'Open Offer for Elbow Room is one of those rare poetic performances that understands the necessary co-dependance of spectator and performer. Through small and subtle re-arrangments of objects and actions, the performer literally writes words and sentences in the audience's mind. Drawing on linguistics, the history of dance, performance art, and the study of consciousness, Open Offer for Elbow Room is a compelling meditation on the ways in which our thoughts can produce things, and how things can produce thoughts.'
