2014: 'Promises', created by Emerge’s founder Adam Towndrow... a politically driven, dense and hard-hitting duet which packs sincere domination and female prowess. Melanie Simpson takes a firm grip on the audience’s attention with her evocative presence as she stands centre stage... she masters a vulnerability that’s truly moving. These dancers commit to their actions and motives to such an extent that their pain, sweat and fatigue is felt by all... everything this duet is saying is believable. Promises, without doubt is deserving of much bigger stages and audiences.
