What Can Your Clown Do For The World?
As part of the Clowns In Crisis Conference from The Online Clown Academy, Robyn Hambrook, Hilary Ramsden and Sabine Choucair offer a workshop investigating how clowning can help others in times of crisis.
Clowns appear throughout history and across cultures, as the fool, the buffoon, the idiot that speaks truth to power. It is from this unique position in society that the clown can critique and disrupt the status quo. The form allows us to explore political, social and environmental issues through play, parody and humour while releasing subversive powers within each individual.
In this exciting co-lab Robyn Hambrook (Bristol Rebel Clowns, The Online Clown Academy) is joined by Hilary Ramsden (Clandestine Rebel Insurgent Rebel Clown Army, UK) and Sabine Choucair (Clown Me In, Beirut) .Three rebel clowns lead a practical exploration of the role of the clown in times of crisis and the political applications of clowning.
Open to anyone aged 18+ who is interested in diving in and exploring the theme.
This is a ticketed event which takes place on Zoom on Sunday 8th November 2.30-5pm (UK time).
£20-£60 (+ booking fee) Pay what you can. There are limited places. You'll need to register for a ticket and we'll send out the Zoom link the day before the workshop.
