The Times, 08/01/2010. Donald Hutera reviewing Dance Company at the Place, London.



Augusto Corrieri’s playfully experimental work has been in Resolution! before. The gentle gimmick in Dance Company is that the ten-strong cast, all recruited from the local community, have never performed together before. Nor will they again. Indeed, I suspect some might never have been on stage at all. They rehearse the show’s simple sound-and- motion theatre games at home by watching videos on YouTube. The result was low-key, bargain-basement conceptualism in the style of the puckish Euro-darling Jerome Bel. It was engaging, occasionally fascinating and boring by turns, or pretentious and anything but.
