“Absolutely at the very razor’s edge of a particular movement towards a new kind of circus.” John Bailey (The Age)
“There's a cold purity to this work that some may find offputting, but which I found enthralling; it's like Skye has boiled away all the extraneous elements of physical performance to focus on the heart of circus.” Richard Watts (Radio 3RRR)
