“Craft at full throttle…Marston’s most significant creation to date, (she) has raised her customary kinetic intelligence to a new level of sophistication… Dividing Silence is a firing-on-all-cylinders dramatic abstraction with a built in tension between clarity and complexity…this dance generates an intellectual buzz”
Dance Europe, 2004
“She is one of the hottest young choreographers around... now Marston has come up with an important new abstract work for Northern Ballet Theatre. An epic of pure dance and an exultant kaleidoscope of moves, Dividing Silence is a finely crafted piece for six couples that shows Marston's gift for sculpting the human form into incredible shapes.”
