BEAUTIFUL FOOLS WORKSHOP SERIES

Following the success of the SILLY BITCH and PLAY MY WAY introduction to clown and play workshops, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN invites you to a new and innovative clown workshop series.

Taking place over 6 weeks, this exclusive series of 2-hour evening workshops aims to provide a safe and nurturing place to delve deeper into your learning, allowing you to discover more about your own unique clown practice. Offering a journey of playful self-discovery alongside professional performance development, BEAUTIFUL FOOLS is a one of kind opportunity to see how you can be both a powerful human and a beautiful idiot, on and off stage.

This project is about creating joyful bonds between you and your own practice, ensuring that you feel empowered to continue your journey into a more playful, intuitive approach to performance.

This series is suitable for those who want to understand what makes them uniquely ridiculous. From actors to improvisers, performers or not, clowning and playful practice can help participants learn to follow their intuition, shed societal expectations, joyfully accept failure and find more freedom.

Taught by Scottish Gaulier-trained performer, director and clown Izzy Stott, this workshop series will help you discover your own innocent idiocy through a series of games, exercises and the weekly opportunity to play, flop, fail and save the show!
