Hine and Bull
Michelle Hine, mime, and Jamie Bull, dancer, presented at the Great Hall of the Arts Centre, Tuesday, February 11, 8 p.m.. Reviewed by Judi Brookfield. Michelle Hine is a woman with diverse performing talents actor, mime, singer, dancer, are titles which could variously describe her. She touched many hearts, especially those of the women in the audience, with extracts from her "Women Alone show Especially poignant was herTßape Mime, depicted the fear and hor-
ror which a lone woman experiences when she realises she is being followed, and “On the Infanticide Marie Farrar” told in song with strong lighting effects. One wonders when we will be fortunate enough to see an artist of this woman’s calibre again in Christchurch. She received a standing ovation from a very enthusiastic and appreciative audience. Jamie Bull explained in her first improvised work rtthat improvisation is r about taking risks and is very scary. Having said
this I wished for more risks to be taken.
The two gentlemen who assisted Ms Bull in the first piece nearly stole the show with their superslow exchange of T - shirts. The fabric was sheer poetry in motion.
Bruce Robertson accompanied her in her second dance with a solo wooden flute, having already opened the show with a dazzling performance on many instruments.
The performance was presented as part of the Fringe festival, continuing until tomorrow.
