Laugh & Cry
Supported by The Place, University of Roehampton and Newington Dance Space.
"Kolyra’s canny eye for detail brought her characters alive, their joys and sorrows believable, amusing and moving."
Keith Watson
"Kolyra’s Laugh & Cry skillfully trod the line between humour and pathos. Brief, but incisive."
Misa Brzezicki
Shifting through a series of contagious motions and emotions, Laugh & Cry reveals the stark differences between public and private personas. It plays with poses and postures and attitudes, and shifts from the real to unreal and/or surreal. It teases. It smiles. It comments. It presents. It hides.
