​“[Phay] created a beautifully honest and safe space, and her choreography was as stunning as it was safe and simple to do. She helped us approach this sensitive and complicated piece of theatre with compassion and professionalism. The show could not have happened without her.” ~ Andie Lloyd, stage manager, bare: a pop opera
