PERFORMANCE

Rachel... is a very engaged performer, extremely precise and very powerful. She is able to combine technical skills with rare performing qualities: she knows how to choose just the right “distance” in her dancing, alternating intensity and humour, giving depth to simple little gestures. ...imbued with fun and derision and, not to forget, a touch of virtuosity. When all is said, she’s a dancer to watch...
