WHAT PEOPLE SAY
REVIEWS
“Unique, bizarre, and utterly enthralling, Forklift defies definition. It’s kind of circus, kind of contemporary theatre, kind of dance… and yet none of these things. The piece is all that is feminism, with strong, powerful, changeable women completely in control of their art.”
Tania Herbert, Theatre Press 2014
“Throughout her career, Kate has searched to identify, understand and interpret vital social and cultural issues at work in contemporary Australian life. She reflects and responds to those observations and experiences and applies her unique creative talents to conceive live performance experiences of integrity and impact. Her works are intelligent and thoughtful and characteristically infused with a freshness and irreverence, which invite the audience to fully engage with the performers and their narratives”.
Josephine Ridge, Artistic Director Luminato Festival, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
"They had me with my heart in my mouth as two of them moved from one impossible pose to another, balancing, dangling and wrapping themselves around the forklift…powerful, perhaps outrageous contemporary dance movement. Each performer often seemed as robust as the machine and it was only that we knew they were human beings that the tension gathered strength and settled inside us as audience members."
Michelle Potter, On Dancing, 19/1/14
“KAGE is a knockout – almost literally.
The bizarre, knockabout physicality makes you laugh as it takes your breath away with a frisson of fear: it seems almost too real to be theatre. The neurosis is raw…For originality, content, theatricality and sheer entertainment, KAGE was outstanding.”
Sydney Morning Herald, 1997
