Ailsa Windsor, Artsmart Musho Festival  

"...Dorit combines narration with dance which results in a powerfully moving piece....The flowing movements, facial expressions and props - be they blood red rose petals, convey more than words ever could."

 

Charlotte Fairfax, Musho Festival  

"A visually intriguing, physically compelling, solo piece from Faido Dam Company in Holland - the diminutive pixie-like Dorit Weintal returns to the festival for the second year with an intriguing piece of physical theatre....

She takes us on a journey of interesting visual shapes and complex emotional responses.
