Regina, Portrait of a Queen
We’re just finishing a week of rehearsals with Tom Sapsford for his new dance theatre work. In between exploring the local Bath and Bristol ales and Tom’s fine home cooking, we’ve nearly completed work on the projections. The piece is a portrait of Elizabeth I: in Tom’s own words:
‘Fusing dance, drama and video, Regina explores the many faces of Elizabeth I. Powerful woman ruling in a man’s world, an ageing queen famed for striking looks, a monarch dying without an heir to continue her legacy, Regina examines the tensions inherent in Elizabeth as both an individual and icon.’
Regina will be premiering in three weeks’ time: more details, including tour dates, can be found on the Regina Facebook group here.
