<FONT COLOR="#0000FF">"Remarkable...Director Brian Quirt has staged the piece shrewdly and there is much joy in visiting Druick's intelligent, image rich world in <U>the company of a gifted actor</U>. It's impressive, tour de force acting. <U>Four Stars</U>" -- Toronto Star<BR>
<BR>
"...with Richard McMillan as your host, playing the role of a minor noble struggling to find his footing in a deadly, slippery place, you can almost smell the danger of the Sun King's court...<U>Quirt perfectly paces the show and McMillan's performance is richly shaded</U>." -- Globe and Mail<BR>
<BR>
"Playing all the characters <U>superbly</U>, McMillan presents a myriad of figures...There's an electic immediacy to the production. <U>NNNN</U>" -- Now Magazine<BR>

<FONT SIZE="5"><FONT FACE="Helvetica"><B><U>Beauty</U> - choreographed by Julia Sasso, dramaturged by Brian Quirt<BR>

<P>
<FONT COLOR="#0000FF">"Both audiences and critics alike went into raptures when <I>Beauty</I> premiered at the Canada Dance Festival last June. The six dancers explore the beauty of life from birth to death. The piece is beyond gutsy because Sasso demands complete vulnerability from her performers -- physically, emotionally and vocally. <U>This piece touches the soul</U>." -- Globe and Mail<BR>
<BR>
"The dance contains no explicit narrative, yet it has the emotional impact of great drama...<I>Beauty</I> marks the coming of age of <U>a remarkable choreographer</U>." -- Toronto Star<BR>
<BR>
"Depicting galloping wild stallions and orgasmic sexual encounters, <I>Beauty</I> is <U>Sasso's most audacious, honest and revealing work to date</U>." -- Eye Magazine<BR>
