Kneehigh Short Films
“Rambles” was part of Kneehigh’s Connections program, led by Anna Maria Murphy. Anna collected “ordinary extraordinary” stories and memories from people she met while walking across Cornwall. These stories, often humorously exaggerated, were turned into “Moving Postcards” and performed at village halls and local festivals. Kneehigh later partnered with a software developer to create an app that used GPS to guide users to the locations of these stories, allowing them to experience them in real time. Anna is a co-founder of The Writers’ Block and former Artistic Director. We are pleased to celebrate some of Anna’s work here, which is also part of the Kneehigh Archive.
