Kneehigh Seek New Trustees for their Board

(Kneehigh Seek New Trustees for their Board PDF)

Kneehigh is celebrated as a bold, brilliant and big-hearted theatre company. Based in Cornwall we tour locally, nationally and internationally. In 2009/10 we performed to 190,000 people over 307 performances on 2 continents. In the summer of 2010 we launched The Kneehigh Asylum – our fantastic new nomadic venue, a tent! The launch of the Asylum marks the beginning of a new phase for Kneehigh, we now have a space that we can call home – a place where we can party and make glorious Kneehigh Whoopie!

Kneehigh Theatre Trust Limited is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity. We are now looking for new Trustees to join our Board.

We are particularly interested in hearing from candidates with the following experience:

• the business of operating public events and festivals, or with knowledge of the hospitality industry;

• political knowledge relating to policy making with particular reference to the cultural industries, the arts and tourism.
