I found the politics trite, the idea of collective art-making and performance art largely uninteresting, and the general slightness and messiness of many of the works irritating.
The slightness of an 11-year-old among the vast lummoxes of the upper forms in an inner-city educational institution induces a flush of maternal anxiety.
For all the cuddly slightness of his delivery, these songs are lushly rendered and pool in stream-of-consciousness reflection that's more meaningful as a whole.
