The Bone House & Spectrum @ the Edinburgh Fringe

This is quite exciting. While I've been rushed off my (now slightly blistered) feet in Edinburgh, this article/review of The Bone House at the Underbelly has been posted on callthatashow.com and the walls outside the Underbelly. Wow.

There are also masses of reviews on ThreeWeeks and Fringe Review.

For example, ThreeWeeks' Spectrum at C, Chambers St.:

Okay, now I'm scared to fall asleep watching telly. A chap in this invigorating dance piece falls asleep – not sure how, the telly's so loud – and the girl from the old Test Card comes to life. Creepy. She and her friends - who might be from inside the set - borrow their movement styles from hip-hop and give the whole thing a desolate, urban sort of feel, a theme enhanced by the use of multimedia. I couldn't help thinking, however, that the Test Card is a bit out-dated; some of the clips, as well the concept of television dominating life, are quite last century. It's all about the internet these days, and that's got its own store of demons that Avant Garde could explore.
