“…one treasure, seen by a privileged few, was Anne O’Keeffe’s Walk on Water……..performed by five gutsy women who could sing and make music as easily as they could move….well worth watching for.” Hilary Crampton, Age, 31/12/99

“I cried. I laughed – the joy of the performers was so beautiful. Fire in the water, standing on the water – you achieved the impossible – I felt like a child, gasping in disbelief.” Glen Moore

“…the piece feels honouring to women and to life and to the paradox of constant change, birth, death, rebirth and renewal, as well as the constancy, the always there-ness of water…” Melanie Landau

“…the singing helped place the representations in a historical continuum which speaks of ancient, deeply archetypal rituals/traditions.” Maudie Ingleton

“I loved the miracle at the end – Walk on Water. Loved its element of surprise and juxtaposition at the top of the spiritual plane, as opposed to the ‘washer women’ at the beginning….from basic reality to desire. The piece seemed to offer such a rich exploration of feminine identity as identified by ceremony, ritual, cleansing, purity, impurity, washing, dressing, undressing, joy, suffering, playfulness, introspection and sharing....” Kirsten von Bibra, Director

“….a beautifully and imaginatively conceived piece...exquisitely choreographed vignettes of women washing and bathing……awash with classical and literary allusion….” David Crofts, Melbourne Times, 8/3/2000

“ …a powerful integrity.” Stephanie Glickman, Herald Sun, 6/3/2000
