"I can still feel the hairs on the back of my neck standing up. And a cunning twist at the end left the whole audience alone, with nothing but their thoughts." Jen Pawsey at Oxford Daily Info 26th June 2017 Full review here
"I had first seen Gil Cortés’ Left at Emerge Festival in 2015 and was impressed by her mature handling of psychological frailty. Here she has reworked it with two women instead of a man and a woman and has restaged the dynamic between them (...). I admire this ability to revisit a work and bring something new to it" Nicholas Minns at writingaboutdance.com 4th August 2017 Full review here
"As a choreographer, Cortés handles the frailty and domination with a freedom and depth of detail that anchor the work in a youthful maturity" Nicholas Minns at writingaboutdance.com 25th November 2015 Full review here
