“As a long time York volunteer I had heard about your performances but had never had the opportunity to attend one till today...and what a great experience it was! Your production touched on so many of the issues that I have learned about through the women...the dance, words and music all spoke to me on many levels. Bravo to you and your team and many thanks for a most inspiring afternoon.”

“Dreamings revealed to me a truth that I never really considered. It gave me a perspective on women I had not realized. I never really thought about women going to jail, only men. Women can be slaves to their actions just like men. Men who are very controlling and treat women as their property should be considered basically as modern slavery. This is common in everyday life and not too many people point it out. This unit made it apparent to me that men in my generation cannot continue to treat women like this, and needs to contribute to a solution. If everyone can realize we are all equal the world would be an amazingly better place.”
