Night Spells-Extemporary Co.

"The extemporary dance company at the Riverside Studios' Dance umbrella danced the lyrical premiere of Domy Reiter Soffer's Night Spells. A hot house view of the biblical Love triangle of Jacob Rachel and Leah, danced by Corrine Bougaard, Steven Giles and Avigail Ben Ari with passion laced with dramatic over tones and mystery".
Ian Woodward- (The evening News)

"The extemporary Company at the Riverside Studios last night danced the work of Domy Reiter Soffer's long due ballet in London. His "Night Spells" music byYaacov Gilboa, lives up to expectations. It is an impressive drama depicting the biblical love triangle of Jacob, Rachel and Leah. Reiter Soffer has moulded his characters with skillful conviction and also designed to great effect the deceptively simple costumes. The dramatic work developed with such intriguing manner that made the audience sit up and take notice. It is a delicate and rare work and a great asset to the repertoire of the extemporary company.
Ann Nugent-(The Stage).

 

"The extemporary Company now directed by Paul Taras, was much strengthened by a new work from Domy Reiter Soffer, Artistic Advisor to the Irish National Ballet, where he has created some exceptional works already reviewed in these pages. Night Spells to music by Jacob Gilboa is a miniature dance-drama on the biblical subject of Jacob, Rachel and leah, with designs by the choreographer. It is wrought with concentrated point and expressive imagery, with subtle range of characters and most interesting choreography".
John Percival-(Dance and Dancers).
