Reviews
“Then the haunting voice of Leon Bibb brought raw energy and joy to Karen Rimmer as the Red Madonna celebrating the birth of Christ. The simple and defiantly vibrant red dress and the simple, powerful words of the traditional ballad sung by Bibb combined to give the story of the birth of Christ refreshing down-to-earth realism, through Rimmer’s eloquent interpretation.”
- Glenda Bartosh
“Karen Rimmer dance - a feast for the senses”
