Far From Home Reviews
We thank the reviewers who came to see Far From Home at Dance East and Dance City. Highlights include:
The Guardian, Lyndsey Winship, 3*s
‘Alleyne Dance: Far From Home review – compelling movers roam continents’
“...one of the best examples I’ve seen of incorporating non-professional dancers on stage”
“...a real gem...”
Grapevine Live, Nilima Banjeri
‘Review: Far From Home, a hard hitting yet abstract piece exploring the topic of immigration.’
“The choreography, stage setting, lighting and sound landscape all work perfectly to stir the senses and reach the heart.”
“This show was a tour de force...”
“...just as hypnotising to watch as it was emotional to see the dancers pushing and pulling, loving and losing”
“...not only a sensory treat, but an emotional unveiling of the voices that have remained silent for so long”
British Theatre Guide, Dora Frankel
“Everything is really dance-based, with great physicality and presence by superb dancers who have clear personalities, making this work both visceral, beautiful, moving and non-intellectual in a refreshing and highly accessible way.”
“Far From Home is ambitious, fabulous to watch, deeply immersive and most important of all sincere.”
