Crocodile Looking at Birds (1995)
Lyric Hammersmith
A dance-theatre work exploring how the body defines our worlds, and what happens when there is loss of power.
Interweaving accounts of sudden extreme loss with universal experiences of change and ageing, it attempts to better understand both...
Sheila Hill enabled us to identify with her cast of six – some of whom have experienced injury, illness or loss of strength – without pitying their plight. Distances were beautifully judged – between us and them, between them and the traumatic experiences they recounted.
Jann Parry, the Observer, Highlights of 1995
One of the most honest and private pieces of live performance I have ever seen.
Wendy Richmond, Billboard Theatre
