Finding Heaven in Carlos Acosta Premieres



I am really excited to be currently working at the London Coliseum in Carlos Acosta's Premieres. It is a really inspiring production with many mixed media collaborators and featuring the amazing Pegasus Choir. Hearing them warm up yesterday in the Coliseum's canteen was an amazing moment that filled the room with admiration. Given my own love of choral music combined with physical expression and the use of projection in performance, I am in some kind of heaven, which is apt as one of my roles is a soul walking towards the light.

Last Week: "Social Porn 2010" in Prison


SPECIAL EVENT on the 5th of May '10: The stage performance "Social Porn 2010" was transformed into an installation in an OLD POLICE CELL.

Concept: Regina Fichtner
Performers: Regina Fichtner & Antje Hildebrandt

Event: 5/5/2010 Hairy Mary @ The Old Police Station in Deptford / London.
