What people say about Talking Birds

on Wanderlust:
"Wanderlust is a bona fide example of a multi-media art event, that delivers - always purposeful, never over-indulgent. By ‘taking the beneath to the world’ Wanderlust stirs history with ‘possibility’. The ‘possibility’ of a space." [Live Art Magazine]

on Solid Blue:
"Haunting dream or fragmented nightmare – a highly charged atmosphere in a beautiful setting: a unique experience...It is inspiring sometimes to see performances in spaces that aren't regular theatre spaces – in spaces where the venue is itself, in a way, a member of the performing company. So it is with Whitefriars, a former monastery, and Coventry based Talking Birds' Solid Blue. There is a perfect harmony between space and performance: the event is as much a celebration of a place as it is of an idea. The result is both disturbing and thrilling – an exciting buzz deep in your guts...The charged atmosphere is an infectious mixture of farce, expressionism, film noir." [ReviewsGate]

"Solid Blue was the very essence of 'site-specific' and thus this performance has now passed into history, but I urge art lovers of every hue look out for further offerings from this innovative company, this year and beyond." [BBC Online]

on www.helloland.co.uk:
"Type the URL into your browser and you'll be transported to a series of imaginative interactive artworks, accessed through a telephone exchange. Overall, the effect is akin to taking part in a David Lynch movie. This innovative and unusual site is a breath of fresh air. Great stuff." [The Independent]

"The deadpan surreal humour which seems to be a hallmark of the Talking Birds style does seem to have found a natural home in cyberspace." [The Birmingham Post]
