'Entanglements of Two works, like much performance work, by slow and considered associative thinking. Back and forth ideas go, page and eye, words and reader, meaning and mind, reflecting upon ten years of duet performances whilst also - as the back cover puts it - 'exploring the practical, philosophical, and aesthetic implications of working in pairs and offer[ing] wider reflections on the duet as a concept in artistic and social life'. [...] So far I think this book is a call to action, a learning tool.' -- Rupert Loydell, Tears in the Fence

There are many passages which might provide inspiration for other artists and overall the book makes a moving and heartfelt plea for interpersonal open-ness and mutual investment.' -- Dr Sarah Gorman, Honorary Research Fellow, University of Roehampton
