From the review by Luella Christopher: "“Rain On Window”, a reflection on the pain of grief and loss by Malcolm Shute in collaboration with dancers Carrie Monger and Alexander Short to music of Arvo Part, makes elaborate use of projections on the back wall without ever advancing to the front of the stage. In pairs and sometimes separate or together, the three literally crawl, slide, and climb over each other as their feet, hands, and limbs continuously engage with the wall. It’s disturbing while simultaneously tugging at audience heartstrings. Indeed, this obvious contact dance seems more choreographed than improvisational, a particular skill of the venerable Shute. This writer has morphed from disliking and feeling skeptical about the genre to watching with studied admiration."
