We'd also like to mention...
Dr. Vanessa Knights
We'd like to gratefully thank Dr.Vanessa Knights who as a very close partner in the 2006 festival contributed something truly immeasurable to it's success. Vanessa sadly passed away on Saturday 10th March 2007. She was huge inspiration to everyone who came to know her. She brought so, so much to the project, including unlimited passion, imagination and intellect. It really will not be the same without her. Our thoughts go out to her family, friends and colleagues.
