Emma Rice
Emma Rice reveals the influences that stamp her work as a theatre director.
Emma Rice is associated with Kneehigh, the Cornish theatre company renowned for its epic outside productions, and tours of tiny village halls. Her vivid stagings of 'The Red Shoes' and 'The Wooden Frock' explore the violence, sexual undercurrents and power structures of traditional tales. She has re-imagined film and recreated it as live theatre. The physical theatricality of her shows have struck a chord with audiences, and taken her work from Bodmin to Broadway. In this essay she steps back from the stage and the rehearsal room to reflect on the influences that have shaped her work.
