Press/Reviews

"Shen’s Variations, to Arvo Part’s Variations for the Healing of Arinushka, draws us into a place of calm, peace and beauty. That’s because Shen centers himself in that place and from there, performs a meditative, seamless flow of supple moves."

–Susan Broili, The Herald Sun

"On Their Bodies a highlight of ADF season"– Susan Broili, The Herald Sun
