    Review: Dancepatheatre at Diverseworks
    "The Desirability of Babies" presented an intelligent exploration of the different ways people view what can by a joyful or painful experience. Through recorded interviews and modern dance, dozens of perspectives were portrayed. Artistic Director Sara Draper handled the subjects objectively and sesitively. "The Desirability of Babies" was an engaging concert and interesting experience.
