Testimonials from Participants in workshops for BONE MARROW THEATRE and 2017 and 2018
"Nadine and Alex are generous, assured and passionate teachers whose workshops have something to offer anyone - at each and every stage of their life/creative life - who is ready to discover, to notice and play. Their classes are full of laughter and memorable moments which are a joy in themselves as well as inspiration. Very enjoyable, very impressive." Steve Gome
"Alex and Nadine are both amazing human beings to learn from. Their knowledge transcends from the studio into life and you catch yourself delving deeper into the meaning of their work, weeks and months after you'd thought you had discovered it's extent. You will find yourself reborn, the layers of society stripped back and although at first confronting, the experience from their workshop is one that leaves you with a sense of self assurance and the confidence to just "be". A beautiful experience for any performer to play and find the simplistic honesty in our work."MARIAH MANNAE
TALES OF A CITY BY THE SEA" BY SAMAH SABAWI. MAY 2016
"It’s the quality of story presented here, or perhaps the resonance it holds that truly defines this performance"
"As a piece of theatre it has an engaging and engrossing through its linear narrative and all performances honor the writing that is glistening poetry at times."

The Dead Twin August 2015
"Pinder and Leiser-Moore perfect the relationship between Harold and Barbara, which is both intimate and terribly lonely. These parents are suffocated by the traumatic experience they have shared with losing one of their sons, and the starkly different ways in which they handle their agony are portrayed effortlessly". Suzanne Sandow Stage Whispers

Review Waiting for Godot 2011 and 2009
Lucky played by Alex Pinder, perfected for us a sorrow
and the story became surrounded by his frozen mime. His mute presence fell onto and above and within a declamation, a visual storm dipped in ghastly screeches and hollow screams that moved the room, better still shook our insides

Norm and Ahmed by Alex Buzo 2010
Anyone who wants to know anything about playwriting, directing, acting and designing has until August 15 to get themselves to La Mama and see this brilliant account of Mr Buzo’s (a national treasure, surely) faultless first play.
Mr Buzo’s script is all lean, theatrical muscle and Mr Pinder’s direction of it is absolutely beautiful in its stark and pure textual complicity.
Nothing, however, can prepare you for the final moment in Norm and Ahmed – and the woman sitting three seats away from me almost leaping from her seat and screaming “No!”, was the entire measure of this electric night in the theatre. It is compulsory viewing. Go.

Sappho 2007
" Director Alex Pinder's uncomplicated direction of Sappho Unravelling keeps the focus on Sappho yet magnifies Jane's magnetism and elan in delivering a dramatically charged performance."
The Plague 2006 and 2007
" Director Alex Pinder has helped Mulraney to develop an understated but effective physicality, and the tiny stage never seems cramped or restricting.
"this is a terrific monologue that commendably channels the essence of its source material into a finely tuned theatrical experience".
'Alex Pinder has unleashed a virulent strain of theatre that cannot fail to infect its audience with thought"
