Kneehigh Theatre Company
I have been a big fan of Kneehigh for years ever since I went to see their production of Steptoe and Son with my Sixth Form Drama class (I later also saw their production of Tristan and Yseult). They are a company based in cornwall and travel around the Uk showing productions of stories you know but in a way you have never seen them told before. Each show is based around Physical Theatre and the choreography they use is just as important to telling the story as the dialogue is. I was blown away by how much emotion can be conveyed through dance and movement when I saw kneehigh perform. They have a brilliant way of using their movement to create classic comical movements that had the audeince in stitches but also to create sad or touching moments that made the audeince silent as they couldnt take their attention of the stage. Their plays flow with such rhythm that you never find yourself bored, they used non-naturalism techniques with ease and they applied music to their work with great effect. I will be taken inspiration from kneehighs performances to try and make my film flow through movement and provoke the emotions I wish to display through dance.
