"Free Falling is an elevating example of the work of a rare choreographer who knows what she wants and knows how to get it and then gives it to you." A 5* review on Plays to See.
"Yakira does not so much create a performance as encapsulate a state of being. Free Falling is a subdued, almost hypnotic work, emphasised by composer Sabio Janiak’s equally soft and lulling music, but it is nonetheless engaging." Londondance Review.
