This was spot on. I have a family member with ADHD, and a lot of your performance I have seen up close. Thank you for bringing it to people’s attention.

This show felt like my ADHD had been poured onto the stage for everyone to witness. So many moments resonated deeply with experiences I’ve had throughout my own life, making the performance feel personal, relatable, and validating in unexpected ways.

There are a lot of creative and engaging elements throughout the production, and I genuinely enjoyed the journey it takes the audience on. That said, I think the show would benefit from some tightening. A few sections felt a bit long, and at times certain moments seemed disconnected from the central message, causing the pacing to lose some momentum.

Even so, taking on a one-person production is no small feat. Carrying an entire show alone requires tremendous skill, vulnerability, and stamina, and that’s an accomplishment in itself. With a little refining, I think this production has the potential to become an even stronger and more impactful piece. Well done to Terrace (and his team) for bringing such an honest and relatable story to the Fringe stage.

I found this show playfully captivating from the moment it began. At the start, Terrace shows incredible patience in building the playful tension in a moment to an explosion of energy and movement that takes over the space like a river crashing through rapids – and suddenly the rambunctious gestures calm into an academic struggle – but then back to the slash and crash of ?dance? I question the term dance because while there is clear mastery of dance in this work, the almost-choreography reminds me of abstract movement theater, moving as emotion – something dance-ish. And then to smoothly slide from athletic virtuosity into a quiet moment of short dialogue. Meanwhile, the entire piece is highlighted by beautiful lighting that accentuates the emotions and focus. This piece is a panoply of art on display – dance, drama, movement, lighting, music – it’s as if these many forms of expression are in a complicated conversation with each having a moment to be recognized and “speak up”, but no single art form being allowed to dominate the discussion. Instead, every word, gesture, spin, and light cue feels necessary, creating a remarkably entertaining performance that delivers a strong message of struggle in a society that often doesn’t know how to adapt to people who learn/think in a different manner – a theme that many can relate to. I highly recommend this performance to everyone at KCFringe.

The passion and urgency of this piece are at the forefront of it in every second. As someone who does not experience ADHD, I was pulled into this abstract and sometimes painfully real representation of struggles with ADHD. I have friends with ADHD, and I do feel that I do a pretty good job at meeting where they’re at and with what they need, but this did a wonderful job at giving me a clear look into what the actual lived experience is. I can only hope my flawed brain can remember enough of these lessons to better include my own friends in my life.

If the goal of this show is to build understanding of and empathy towards those with ADHD and other neurodivergences, mission accomplished.

And lastly, I cannot state this enough: Terrace is one HELL of a dancer. He’s got a true natural talent for dance and I really, REALLY hope I will get to see again. It’s not often I experience bonafide WONDER watching someone dancing, but I did today.

Everyone’s mind works different and this performance is an insight towards the mind of Terrace. It is funny, grounded and with emotion. If you want to sit in the mind of someone that is different than you, that’s expressed through articulate artistry, this is the show for you.
