The Ballad...a mini version...

Rebecca and Elizabeth presented a mini-version of The Ballad in February ('11), at the Threshold Festival at Liverpool's NOVAS Contemporary Urban Centre.

They were given a lovely, secret room tucked away at the back of a gallery on the fifth floor, which Elizabeth transformed into the world of The Ballad, using feathers, branches, broken gramophones, bird cages, candles and other delights...

Rebecca read the poems in sequence, interspersed with music from the score played on lever harp. Audiences huddled round in the cosy space and were enchanted...
