”Finnemore (…..) devising a buckling, swinging, heavy-treading choreography of work and endurance, creating duets where his four characters strain and fumble to read each other. This is a stage world of large empty spaces, of people held together by desperation and habit. Finnemore is a choreographer to watch.”
Judith Mackrell – The Guardian
“James Finnemore’s OH | GLORY is a work of astonishing promise, with its own distinctive movement vocabulary, and a mood that – even without knowing this in advance – you suspect perfectly replicates the texture of the hillbilly short stories of the American writer Breece D’J Pancake on which it is based. (…) It is haunting, difficult, and beautifully danced by Pauline Raineri, Mikaël Orozco, Finnemore and Léa Tirabasso.”
Sarah Crompton – The Telegraph
”Good dancers playing with interesting dramatics, supported by atmospheric lighting, cavernous soundtrack and telling movement. Finnemore is one I will be tracking.”
