Imaginary Journeys: The Travel Agencies, now at PEI |
| WILDWORKS is proud to be one of the first companies commissioned through an exciting new arts programme called FEAST to lead an ambitious Arts in the Community project in seven market towns across Cornwall:
It's February... and it's raining and cold and everyone is thinking about fleeing to sunnier climes but we've checked our bank accounts and we spent too much at Christmas so looks like we're staying at home after all.
Are we down hearted? No, we are not because Cornwall's own internationally renowned theatre company WILDWORKS have created an ambitious and exciting new project called Imaginary Journeys.
So it doesn't matter if you are young, old, or in between just as long as you are a brave 'traveller' willing to let WILDWORKS artists take you on flights of fancy, into the unknown where you will explore the past, the present and the future. It's not only Doctor Who who gets to time travel and as Mercedes Kemp project manager says 'We have teams of artists working across Cornwall, creating Travel Agencies of the Imagination. We want to gather memories, hopes and dreams for the future, and create beautiful installations that will connect with people and their pride of place.'
