This lesson involved creating a presentation around the theatre company Kneehigh and how they work and create performances. I worked alongside Charlotte and we created a PowerPoint about the techniques and ideas they use and how abstract and twisted their ideas really are. Too show this we linked back to some of Knee-highs well known plays , such as 'Dead Dog in a suitcase (and other love songs) and used a small trailer like clip from YouTube as part of the presentation to try and portray how unique the theatre company is.
This is my presentation
Kneehigh have a strong non-naturalistic insight into the scripts and performances they create. Knee-high company focus on creating and improvising a piece around ideas and the connotations of the ideas, and keep a settled order on how to create a performance, ending with creating a script to fit round what was improvised. Kneehigh often base their performances on the idea of twisted fairytales and 'magical' ideas, to create a eye catching and tension filled piece.
We researched Kneehigh and went through their webpage,we found the webpage to be very informative, and helpful and managed to create a powerpoint about Kneehigh and its background from the information found. Kneehigh are a Cornwall based theatre company with a local, national and international profile. For over 30 years we have created vigorous, popular and challenging theatre and perform with joyful anarchy. They tell there stories through the architecture of Cornwall, using an epic to tiny scale and keep a group of ensambles with them to create performances.
