Romeo and Juliet
“Gerard Manion’s sets range across continents and religions, with Damien Cooper’s lighting and Jason Lam’s projection design enriching the stunning visuals…powerful emotions underlined in visual imagery and dramatic tension heightened by starkly contrasted landscapes”

Side to One
Adam Synnott’s interesting soundscape, with its mechanical pulsating rhythms, complements the strength of their relationship and often quite powerfully drives the moments. Greg Elliott, Indaily, 28/07/2011, full review
This is not just a rehearsed partnership of pure choreography, but a three way collaboration which includes live music and sound, engineered onstage by Adam Synnott. The music is as fluid as the performance, the three feeding off each other like a living organism. Paul Rodda, The Barefoot Review, 28/07/2011, full review
Light Interrupted

Impulse
Jason Lam and Adam Synnott have created spectacular projections including a rippling carpet, lapping pools of water, and finally a ceaselessly evolving flower of silvery light. Alan Brissenden, The Australian, June 30, 2008 Full review
Zephyr will perform the music for Impulse and Shimmer live on stage. Meanwhile, Warren says the “impulse” in Impulse will follow through into the performance of the musicians and the lighting. Zephyr Quartet will play in “very different spatial arrangements than they would normally play in”. They will be miked, and their bowing arms “sensorised” and the information fed into a computer and back through the lighting. “It’s a way of visualising the music live – people will be able to see what the musicians are playing in light,” he says.
These musical pyrotechnics have been created by LWD dancer Adam Synnott and former Adelaide dancer Jason Lam in collaboration with lighting designer Geoff Cobham. Louise Nunn, The Advertiser June 04, 2008
