"Ridhwan tidak teragak-agak menggunakan perkataan-perkataan yang ‘besar’ maknanya berbanding percakapan seharian masyarakatnya," menurut ulasan Fasyali Fadzly, "Perkataan seperti transendental, individualiti, kewujudan, kematian dan kontradiksi digunakan dengan meluas dan penuh filosofikal...

These gestures are as useful to us as exotic species, and just as ephemeral. Perhaps this is something that dance really can tell us about saving the environment."
