BWW Reviews: (Un)Making Men in MOFFIE a Vision for Dance That Matters
by David Fick - January 28, 2015
Billed as Bailey Snyman's dance interpretation of Andre Carl van der Merwe's novel, MOFFIE sets itself a demanding task in adapting and translating the themes of Van der Merwe's harrowing novel. That's enough to hope that MOFFIE is a piece that earns support so that Snyman and his Matchbox Theatre Collective can develop their work and continue to try and make dance that matters.

BWW Reviews: Devastatingly Competent OTHELLO Leaves Audience Out in the Cold at Maynardville
by David Fick - January 26, 2015

BWW Reviews: Operatic SAMSA-MASJIEN an Intense Rendering of and Meditation on Humanity
by David Fick - January 22, 2015
The premiere of SAMSA-MASJIEN in the Baxter Theatre's Flipside venue last week was my second experience of the play. I previously saw the piece at the Klein Karoo Nasionale Kunstefees (KKNK) last year, where it was staged in a hangar on the grounds of the South African National Defence Force, a seemingly infinite space that suited the operatic scope of the production a little better than the relatively more intimate (though still fairly sized) alternative theatre venue at the Baxter Theatre. Nonetheless, SAMSA-MASJIEN remains an intense rendering of and meditation on aging, the nature of dementia, family and compassion.
