Connections

To celebrate the launch of the Asylum last year, writer, performer and long time Kneehigh adventurer Anna Maria Murphy walked the length and breadth of Cornwall.

Her trusty walking boots covered over 300 miles and she met doctors, travellers, war veterans, cared-for children, a vintage lady surfer and young mums (amongst many other people) along the way. Click here to see one of the stories she wrote as a result.

This year, the intrepid Anna Maria sets off on three, 3-day-long adventures. In June she’ll walk from Polperro to the Kneehigh Barns in Gorran Haven (check out the walk invite on the Walk With Me… page) , in July she’ll travel from Padstow to Launceston and August will see her trek from Mousehole to the Asylum where she will start with breakfast on the barbour and the latest brilliant invention from Rob Higgs (he made the contraptions in Hansel & Gretel), and end with a celebratory Kneehigh knees-up.

There will also be daytime workshops at the Asylum for special groups whose members fancy dances, learning to bake, discovering design, constructing kites or playing with poems.
Last year’s Connections Programme also included an ‘almost’ free ticket scheme for the organisaitons and individuals we met, we hope to continue that this year!

For further details, information on the dates of walks will be updated here over the course of the next few weeks. For information on workshops and tickets contact Shakera Ahad on shakera@kneehigh.co.uk or call 01872 267 910.

The Connections Programme is generously supported by The Joyce Carr Doughty Charitable Trust, the Tanner Trust, FEAST and Rob & Jane Hartley – alongside contributions made by members of the Kneehigh FAMILY and bookers for the 2011 Asylum season.
