Rose English
In the 1970s English began her career making smaller scale explorations of the feminine and of philosophy. Frequent collaborators include Jacky Lansley and Sally Potter. Later, English became known for her vaudevillian, epic, theatrical performances often with large casts or horses, in equally large venues.
