About Tess Letham
Tess Letham is a dance-theatre artist from Scotland whose work blends improvisation-based movement with sharp cultural commentary. In this show, she imagines the rise and fall of a fictional media icon, bringing an idiosyncratic character to life through vibrant dance-theatre and live documentary. Surreal, daring and sprinkled with bittersweet humour, the piece explores how women are shaped and shattered by the spotlight, combining bizarre tenderness and unique physical presence. The show runs for 45 minutes at DB 3 and carries an age guidance of 14+.
Why see this show?
A bold, playful and poignant piece of dance-theatre that uses the glare of celebrity to say something genuinely affecting about what it means to be a woman in the public eye. Tess Letham's distinctive physical voice is unlike anything else on the programme.
