“Cathy Sharp foregoes subsidiary issues and created images full of powerful dance. ( . . . ) The dance piece bloomed out of the poetic but was nonetheless not a comfortable stroll. One could feel the sensibility and sincerity with which Cathy Sharp and her dancers choreographed together.”

“In her dancing, Misato Inoue fluctuates between Vincent’s delusions and pure feelings, which are close together in her characterisation. In her final duet with the ‘blue’ Vincent Pascault, both dancers achieve a sense of the sad, beautiful perfection of a broken figure.”
06 June 2009, Anette Mahro, Badische Zeitung, Germany.
“As painting motives of van Gogh flicker in projections along the back wall of the Kulturraum H95, the Cathy Sharp Dance Ensemble takes a chance on an interpretation of the life and work of the artist, which at times comes across light as a feather, at other times abyssal.”

“The Cathy Sharp Dance Ensemble from Basel showed an impressive and playful performance. (The dancers) pave a way through the tonal and legend-steeped world. Creeping, lurking, searching and at the same time wild, strong images emerge, which together with (the music of) Stimmhorn form an impressive unity.”
Martina Clavadetscher, Neue Zuger Zeitung 21 April 2008.
“Four choreographers with different styles, along with the musical duo Stimmhorn, with their unconventional tonal world of alphorn sounds, ram’s horn, yodeling, belching and overtones. How can this fit together? It couldn’t be more perfect, as the Basel premiere showed in the Kaserne Theatre. . . . (The dancers) understand with ease how to translate into practice very differing approaches.”

“The performance begins outside, while the audience looks through the large windows and sees how the four dancers playfully hop over the steps or execute leaps, lift each other or run after each other. Together with passers-by, bicycle riders and passing trams new images are constantly created. . . . The piece comes across easily, pleasant and fresh like a summer rain.”

« The piece is rather more performance art with danced intermezzi than a linear chorography. This unusual dance presentation takes place not just on the stage of the Roxy Theatre, but also in the parallel spaces, in the lobby, in the bar, on the gallery, in the box office, in the hallway and under the bleachers. . . . The work shows the pleasure of experimentation of the Cathy Sharp Dance Ensemble, and of the desire to try out something new and different. »
Basellandschaftliche Zeitung, 19.11.05, Jana Ullmann
« It is also chance where the onlooker happens to be, as to what he or she sees or misses. And yet, there is a clear, black-humoured, darkly-wicked throughline in the hour-long piece. The erotic dance between man and woman loses control - play becomes serious and out of the seriousness comes dangerous play. »
Basler Zeitung, 19.11.05, Maya Künzler
« The various elements of the evening not so much explored the meaning of 21st-century sexual definition as played about and reveled in them. And with the excellent contributions of Sharp’s international ensemble, the audience can join them. »
