“Out of the Deep Blue brought a giant - sized touch of magic to Weston’s streets.  EKO is a wonderfully dynamic puppet whose stature causes jaws to drop and eyes to roll skywards, only to be found a breath later at ground level patting a dog.  A puppet full of vitality, humor, and wonder with an important message to share.  The dance duet captivated a large audience of all ages and will I’m sure linger long in Weston’s collective memory.  The company too were great to work with and interacted with the audience with genuine warmth and playfulness”

Fiona Matthews, Creative Director - Theatre Orchard

“It’s great to see A Posi+ive Life create such a safe, supportive space for young people to talk and share their thoughts as part of a live performance.”

Peter Knott - Area Director for Arts Council England

"The genuinely likable trio onstage give voice to observations, feelings, and self - admissions that add up to an open - minded and activist depiction of queer pride."
