""An irresistible read... a study in how family shapes the artistic mind, propelling it to transform trauma into something meaningful."" - Terence Young, author of Give Us This Day ""Lorraine Thomson's memoir is a finely detailed portrait of a life lived wide open to the liberating possibilities of the creative process, the creative moment."" - John Gould, author of The End of Me. ""An intimate and vivid story of coming of age through movement... mining the expressive body in both Western and Indonesian dance, integrating the worlds of embodiment, emotion and spirituality."" - Santa Aloi, Professor of Dance, Emerita, Simon Fraser University ""Personally fearless and culturally illuminating, Halflife is Part One, perhaps, of a life quest shaped in equal parts by passion, willpower and the sly conspiracies of chance."" - Seán Virgo, author of Dibidalen and Waking in Eden
