"It feels as though the dance artform is a massive puzzle that can never be solved. I am excited by the idea that every time I approach dance, I am further challenged and stimulated by the unexpected."

Graffiti Bodies XV by Dam Van Huynh, Elaine Mitchener & Michael Picknett

"In a world where it feels like injustice and oppression repeats itself in different guises with every news story and social media post, Graffiti Bodies XV reminds us that amongst the multiple layers of shittery, there are always layers upon layers of hope, justice and community to look for as well."

"Exquisite Noise is less about storytelling than about collective awakening. What emerges is an onto-epistemological choreography: a sensorial experience of bodies, lights, and sounds that redefines the essence of noise as a political gesture and a deeply human ritual."

Envisioning protest in Van Huynh Company’s Exquisite Noise

"British Afro-Caribbean singer-dancer Elaine Mitchener doesn’t dance to the music but as it: a possession, an Eastman."

In Realness

"In reality Dam van Huynh in collaboration with Tommaso Petrolo create a disquieting work of dance/theatre of epic proportions. An extraordinary feat of physical intensity that borders on the operatic."

Van Huynh Company: Re:birth review – a swirling portrayal of the exhaustion of exile

★★★ "We’re seeing the confusion and exhaustion of exile, voices drowned out, the disquiet of finding yourself, unwanted, in a new land."
