  • The rehearsal base for Kneehigh is a National Trust barn on the cliffs near Mevagissey.
  • Their rehearsal techniques are very unique and they include a lot of physical theatre.
  • As a company on rehearsal days, they eat all their meals together and the general vibe is very much like one big family.
  • Cornwall is the company's home and they draw inspiration from it and incorporate it into their theatre.
  • The theatre itself is very fast-paced and the company comment on this by saying:
  • A spontaneous sense of risk and adventure produces extraordinary dramatic results.
  • Kneehigh was born in Cornwall in 1980, where a village school teacher began to run theatre workshops.
  • Amateur actors with little experience got involved for fun and the company grew and began to put on productions
  • They performed in public, low budget places to begin with but grew in popularity and are now touring all round Britain.
