'The Ten Inch Heels' - Rehearsals

Take a sneaky peek of Rowena ’s rehearsals!!! ‘THE TEN INCH HEELS’ FR 14 th  JUNE , UNITY THEATRE 5.30, 6, 6.30, 7pm (15 min)  (PAY WHAT YOU DECIDE) 16+   BOOK NOW:  http://bit.ly/2M1gnhh Do objects have the capacity to make you feel empowered or objectified? What is that object for you? 'The Ten Inch Heels' explores the extrinsic value of sexualised and exaggerated femininity, questioning how engagement with high heels can either promote or dissolve female subordination.   The intimate setting of the work encourages a physical power dynamic that positions the performer in front of you, beneath you, next to you, or on top of you.
