“Raw energy, fury, vigour, passion, you can feel the energy of a whole community of people. Connection connected. The power. I’ve got a booming right in my heart and my hands are shaking. It’s awesome. I would definitely see the performance again. That was the best work I’ve seen in forever. I’m quivering with the energy of it, it makes you feel like anything, and really anything is possible” - Producer, Barbican Theatre
“The Rising is infectious” - The Times
“Experienced dance audiences and the general public alike rose to their feet at the end of The Rising. It does that to you” - Pavilion Dance South West
