"Luca Silvestrini's surreal, cartooning wit finds its ideal subject in Dear Body" 

Judith Mackrell, The Guardian

A witty satire on fixation with body image and body care, Dear Body picks up where B for Body left off, continuing that most private dialogue of all, the one we have with ourselves. With distinctive animation by award-winning film-maker Rachel Davies, Dear Body is played out by six professional Protein dancers and an ensemble cast of amateurs drawn from across the local community.

 

"Performances are very good, especially Sally Marie ... her speech of triumph rings with genuine pathos." 

Jenny Gilbert, Independent on Sunday.
