“Richard III, the Pleasures of Violence”

workshop

2012

This workshop was presented in December 2012.   The project combines live performance with film, which is made and displayed during the course of the show.  Shakespearean text acts as a point of departure for this intimate sensory (visual and emotional) exploration into the passion, violence and disaster, which occurred in the family of 3 York brothers: Edward, Clarence and Richard, following the impulsive secret love marriage of Edward IV, King of England to Elisabeth Woodville. The full production was presented  in 2014.
