Clown : The Art Of Play with Gerry Flanagan
Sunday 23rd April 2023

When we play, we are full of energy, alert and spontaneous. We look for playfulness in others and listen to creative impulses in ourselves. Clowning is accepting then enjoying our stupidity. It’s serious business! In this workshop we will make it physical with a strong focus on rhythm.
