Wobbly wonders in progress Arches Live!, Arches Glasgow

Here's the lovely paradox: sometimes when the shows are wobbly, or all over the place, is when Arches Live!

plays to its strengths. Without this supportive public platform, how are emerging artists, or indeed established ones, ever going to test new material or their ability to put it across?

L'Eveil (HHH) found Mazz Marsden encased inside a fascinating sculptural costume designed by the director Mona Kastell. Think "gorgeous chrysalis" and you'll be in tune with the process that saw Marsden morph from bulbous wriggler to back-lit butterfly, albeit masked as if a hybrid insect-human. The costume is the drama here, and while it creates a narrative it also imposes repetitive limits on movement – Marsden triumphs, nonetheless.
