A little about us

kneeHIGH is an evolving multi-arts company of accomplished and emerging artists, technicians and performers. We bring together giant puppets, performance, digital electronics, mechanics, pyrotechnics and environmental sculpture to connect with non-theatre going audiences in outdoor venues.

kneeHIGH has fourteen years experience planning spectacles and events, encouraging creative input from a cross section of artists, story tellers and fantasy engineers - bringing together innovative professionals from dissimilar forms to create disarmingly original works.

We have a commitment to exploring the outdoor environment as a performance venue - in common with many other cultures, particularly indigenous Australians and our South East Asian neighbours.

By touring around Australia, Europe and Asia our artists and performers are sharing and gleaning ideas about best practice which they incorporate into their work.

kneeHIGH has a tradition of working across the field: major festivals, international, schools, regional projects and new media. It is this ability to work as a major international touring company and local community theatre company that provides for a unique opportunity to bring skills from around the world to regional Australia and by definition bring experiences from regional Australia to the world. We intend to develop the results of this ‘cross fertilising’ effect as a fundamental part of our new and extremely original work.
