| contents | We give a differential geometric construction of the holomorphic family of Higgs bundle moduli spaces over a curve C as a fibration over Teichmüller space. The method uses a function f defined on the character variety, essentially the energy of a harmonic map, which is dependent on the complex structure of C. Using f we define a natural family of flat Ehresmann connections parametrized by the circle which reveal various aspects of these moduli spaces and their hyperkähler metrics. |
