Two works commissioned and developed by Nightswimming
play to sold out houses and great reviews:

Through the Eyes - written by Don Druick, directed by Brian Quirt
starring Richard McMillan
Held over by Factory Theatre until February 16, 2003


"Remarkable...Director Brian Quirt has staged the piece shrewdly and there
is much joy in visiting Druick's intelligent, image rich world in the
company of a gifted actor. It's impressive, tour de force acting. Four
Stars" -- Toronto Star

"...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...Quirt perfectly paces the show
and McMillan's performance is richly shaded." -- Globe and Mail

"Playing all the characters superbly, McMillan presents a myriad of
figures...There's an electic immediacy to the production. NNNN" -- Now
Magazine



Beauty - choreographed by Julia Sasso, dramaturged by Brian Quirt

"Both audiences and critics alike went into raptures when Beauty 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. This piece touches the soul." -- Globe and Mail

"The dance contains no explicit narrative, yet it has the emotional impact
of great drama...Beauty marks the coming of age of a remarkable
choreographer." -- Toronto Star

"Depicting galloping wild stallions and orgasmic sexual encounters, Beauty
is Sasso's most audacious, honest and revealing work to date." -- Eye
Magazine

Beauty has finished its run, produced by Julia Sasso dances and presented by
Harbourfront Centre. For more information about Beauty, visit
