  WHAT THEY SAID
Critical acclaim & press quotes.
The Herald Scotland · Mary Brennan
"She has a chameleon physicality — a visual artist who sweeps a landscape onto blank paper, the rapid strokes underlining her need to remember and the wish to forget."
Memories of a Lullaby · CCA Glasgow
The Wee Review · CCA Glasgow
"An engaging, warm performer who actively makes eye contact with her audience — blending real-time chalk sketching with physical interpretation and autobiographical storytelling."
Refugee Festival Scotland · 2016
Joyce McMillan · The Scotsman
"…drawn together by the remarkable Scottish-based performance artist Saras Feijoo."
Edinburgh's First Clown Festival · The Scotsman
