SOMEWHERE BETWEEN presents The SILLY BITCH Project at STEREO, Glasgow.
THE WORKSHOP
The SILLY BITCH project is a series of inclusive, accessibly-priced workshops that centre the experience of women (trans + non-binary inclusive)*, taught by Izzy Stott.
Drawing technique from contemporary clowning, bouffon and satirical play, this 3-hour workshop provides a safe and nurturing space for participants to explore and discover their ridiculousness, away from the often male-dominated world of comedy. Through intuitive playful practice that explores the joys of failure and the beauty of vulnerability, we can can begin to shed the societal pressure of perfection and learn to revel in our own unique silliness.
Suitable for all experience levels, this workshop involves a series of games and exercises designed to help you find freedom. This can compliment other performance practices, from classic acting to improv, drag and burlesque, as well as filter into your daily lives.
12-3pm Sunday 10th May, STEREO
(22 Renfield Ln, Glasgow G2 5AR)
*We use the term inclusively and do not police or assume gender identity / presentation.
ABOUT IZZY STOTT
Izzy is a multidisciplinary artist, performer and workshop facilitator based in Glasgow, focusing on contemporary performance, bouffon, drag and clown. She trained at Ecole Philippe Gaulier, and believes that being playful and free whilst creating is the only way to fully release the body and mind's potential to eternally question, react, move, and hopefully, move others. Izzy's socially engaged arts practice focuses on empowerment and interactive performance. She runs SOMEWHERE BETWEEN - a femme/queer performance production company which aims to produce, create and facilitate new innovative and uniquely styled work, as well as teach, host workshops and work with marginalised groups in society, making theatre accessible to all. Izzy is also co-creator of SHIITAKE NIGHTS, Glasgow Southside’s SELL-OUT absurd cabaret. Her workshops centre clowning and playful practice through a psychological lens, exploring vulnerability, failure, self-acceptance and resilience. She has created and performed original work and hosted cabarets at Edinburgh, Brighton and Prague Fringe Festivals and Queer Theory as well as at Eden and Kelburn festivals. (You may have seen her as GÜNTER or as a banana that eats bananas.)
ABOUT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN is a feminist and queer creative production company based in Glasgow, working with new, innovative theatre and absurd comedy. We create, produce, facilitate, host and teach. We believe in theatre for all, and specialise in working with marginalised groups in society, helping the wider community to communicate and share. We like work that is ridiculous, bold, beautiful, honest, with a strong sense of personality.
“I benefited from the relaxed safe space where I could be myself and feel free. The teaching was supportive and nurturing. The combination of teaching, experience and the people I met there has, I think, allowed me to feel a greater sense of freedom and possibility.”
