"Power, generosity, and fierce attacks end the evening in a room of Maya Orchin.  Presenting six energetic dancers, well anchored and involved.  The listening and the chemistry that emerges from this team are palpable.  The connection lining each of them transports the public into an exhilarating universe.  Punctuated with entries, exists, beautiful duets and interactions between all dancers, SEEK does not let us get bored! The variety and the evolution in the room keep us an eye open and curiosity well sharpened."

"During "Trick Of The Light" Maya Orchin's serpentine dance is irresistably captivating, colour changing lights playing off her dress in awestriking tribute to the hand painted film cells that first broadcast the movements."


 The Line of Best Fit


"Flip, choreographed by Orchin,takes on the many phases of an archetypal mother. Flowing into the images of the first piece seamlessly, Nelson rolls toward the projections, taking in the the sea, observing, calling it towards her sensually. Here she marks a beginning, either conception or birth, the prologue. Repeating movement patterns, and delicately mining them to elicit complex moods, Nelson embodies motherhood’s many chapters with the clarity and certainty of a woman who knows of what she dances. We observe  passion, bubbling delight, and tenderness, along with the  anxiety of day-to- day demands. Tracing paths from exhilaration to anguish, even capturing  the moment when a mother perhaps wonders if she is an individual at all, Orchin and Nelson remind us of the reality and depth of an often idealized role."
