Deborah Meyers of the Vancouver Sun writes: “You only have to watch her for one minute to know that she understands the body’s power to speak through movement, and it only takes a few minutes more to realize she is harnessing this power in ways that are seriously, unusually authentic…Sign Language is a brilliant physical essay on fear and desire.”
