Clown
I was first introduced to Clown during my 3rd year devising module, then during my Masters, I became intensely enthralled with the theory, history and principles of Clown; I wrote a full-length dark farce - A Fool's Game - for my dissertation in response to my research.
I began my practical research in 2019 & have completed the following training:

I presented 2 work-in-progress skits on The Love Bus Stage. Here is my clown burlesque skit, an idea I came up with a week beforehand & was making props for on the day - with collective effort! It was entirely improvised but I aim to develop it & explore how I could integrate other props such as aerial & hula hoop.
​I also did a walk-about, where I invited people to 'Donate Their Voice' if they could 'Spare a Few Words' to contribute to co-creative sandwich board artwork.
