They performed with a profound endurance, intelligence, and grace that felt motivated by an inherent generosity in their approach to human interaction. I believe everyone there felt connected; we were breathing in the scenarios they devised, watching, as if experiencing the world, together, for the first time”, Warren Fry, audience member “Alexandra Zierle and Paul Carter bring together an attentiveness to place, an austere command of physical movement and tension, and a generous engagement with the dynamics of the personal and the interpersonal, to create situations that are magical, communal, and immediate. They create an experience approaching collective trance, in which their restrained and finely-honed intensity spills into a heightened intimacy that touches and changes everyone present”, Olchar Lindsann – Co-Programmer, Marginal Arts Festival “I’m still trying to piece together what you did, what formula you used, to create a performance/event that had such strong power, to override the idea of a 'performance' or 'social event', and actually affect the audience/participants on such a deep personal level, and specifically for me it was in the making of the love potion, throughout the evening, that I found love!!!”, Shireen Darabi, audience member If you do not wish to receive email bulletins from Zierle & Carter ([log in to unmask]) then please reply to this email with UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line
