Performance at the New York Fringe International Theater Festival 2015 for "Behind the Wall - An Autism Performance Piece" Created by Joyce Lao and Andy Miyamotto

 

"......segments such as “Shadow Play,” in which the two move behind a back-lit sheet, are visually arresting. The intimacy and complexity of their relationship takes the foreground and this genuine, heartfelt vulnerability (which occurs a few times throughout Behind the Wall) breaks up the sense of overall lightness and brevity of the rest of the show. These moments feel the most rewarding, adding a sense of warmth."
