PROUD
TO BE BONKERS!
BonkersFest!
’06 attracted significant media interest particularly from
the local South London Press. A prop sheep was
stolen and the paper initiated a campaign and an award to find the
sheep who was indeed found in a bush. Since then the sheep has featured
in a campaign to save the local Emergency 24 hour psychiatric walk
in clinic led by Southwark Mind and Creative Routes.
Creative Routes has featured in the news both ITV
and BBC London. On BBC3 I Love
Being Mad. BonkersFest! has featured on Inside Out on BBC1
in October 2006, will be screened on Balderdash and Piffle
BBC2 in the Spring, and featured in the Independent
on Sunday Magazine on March 18th 2007.
BonkersFest’07 presents a varied programme
and incorporates a diverse range of arts practitioners which is
reflected by its partners. Creating new opportunities for artists
to interact with communities and to forge interactions between mad
and normal communities is one of the key aims of BonkersFest!
