Following the success of BEAUTIFUL FOOLS in Glasgow and Edinburgh, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN and Izzy Stott are delighted to invite you to take part in this new and innovative clown workshop series, for the first time in London!
Taking place over 6 weeks, this exclusive series of 2-hour morning 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 series is suitable for all those who want to understand what makes them uniquely ridiculous, whether you are totally new to clowning or already have a bit of experience. 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.
Once you have completed Level 1, you will be invited to attend Level 2, the next step of the BEAUTIFUL FOOLS journey.
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!
Izzy Stott is Scottish performer and theatre artist with a focus on clown, bouffon, cabaret and drag. Having trained in contemporary performance and physical theatre, Izzy now works as a solo artist, cabaret producer, consultant and workshop facilitator. She is the artistic director of SOMEWHERE BETWEEN, a creative production company born in Glasgow, newly based in London, that works with new, innovative performance, cabaret and absurd comedy.
Some comments from last time:
"I appreciate how good a teacher/support Izzy was at facilitating the teaching space and really allowing moments of vulnerability and playfulness within the group"
"I benefited from the relaxed safe space where I could be myself and feel free"
"It felt like a very safe environment to play, and Izzy's guidance throughout was the backbone that kept us on track."
"It was nice to bask in some failure."
