Following the SILLY BITCH and PLAY MY WAY introduction to clown and play workshops, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN invites you to a new and innovative clown workshop.
This 2-hour community workshop seeks to explore the ways in which clowning and playful practice are essentially anti-capitalist and anarchic in nature. This will be a safe and nurturing place to have fun, shed social norms and connect with your own innocent, childlike freedom. In a world full of struggles and crisis, this is an opportunity to take a breath, and to see how you can be both a powerful human and a beautiful idiot! Aligning with the values of GAS and SOMEWHERE BETWEEN's mission to make the arts as accessible as possible, this workshop is FREE. Any donations will go to help with the running of GAS.
By creating joyful bonds between you, your own ability to play, and others, you should feel more empowered, self-aware and accepting. Clowning and playful practice can help participants learn to follow their intuition, shed societal expectations, joyfully accept failure and find more freedom.
