challenged to excel themselves physically, intellectually and emotionally
to achieve new artistic and aesthetic goals. Expressions ensures
a high public profile through an extensive program of performances
and workshops. Tens of thousands of people participate in Expressions
activities each year. Audiences throughout Australia, the U.K.,
U.S.A., Germany, Papua New Guinea, Israel, Singapore, Taiwan, India,

critically acclaimed works.
Expressions Dance Company has established a worldwide reputation for
originality, energy and exhilarating dance. The Company is acclaimed for
high calibre and compelling dance theatre. Not averse to taking risks,
Expressions creates works in which speech, dance and visual media
combine and confront each other. Radical yet accessible, Expressions
pushes the boundaries of dance and theatre, creating meaning with
powerful imagery and intriguing dance.
"The Expressions Dance Company smashed dramatic situations into
smithereens and presented them as sharp choreographic fragments.
This modern dance Troupe from Brisbane, Australia made a strong
impression...vivid images and striking episodes...always a pleasure to
watch." Jack Anderson, The New York Times (U.S.A.).
This small company is anything but small in standard. There is a
complementarity among the dancers that enhances excellence both
technically and artistically: they are articulate and fluent with the form
and demand attention. Shaaron Boughen, The Australian (Australia).
"This is a performance from the whole Expressions team that is
impressive and charismatic, and reinforces Sietsmas reputation
for originality and skill."
Rosemary Sorensen, The Courier Mail.
"Explosive dance theatre." Claudia Gass, Stuttgarter Zeitung (Germany).
