Dancer Sarah-Jayne Howard performed a "marvelous, rigorous, confronting solo dance work", according to Sydney Arts Guide reviewer David Kary.
The work, performed as part of the Sydney Festival, was choreographed by Champion and her artistic associate, Kelli Jean Drinkwater, an internationally known "fat activist".
