Pre-Fringe Funtimes Workshop

This is a free workshop to celebrate the artists of Fringe and beyond!

Whether you have a show coming up or not, this workshop is open to all performers.

It is two hours of play. We will play games and exercises from the world of clown and physical theatre.
There will be movement, improvisation, playing with characters.
We will explore themes like crescendo, rhythm & timing.
Play some very silly games.
Something to ease your poetic body into Fringe week.
A chance to connect with other performers, come back to the body, breathe and play.

There are 20 spots available.
I am able to offer this one-off workshop for no cost as Merri-bek have opened their spaces for artists to use for free.

If you sign up and can no longer attend, please let me know as soon as possible so someone else can take your spot.

I have turned up to sold out free workshops before and had only one person there, it's really sad, so please treat your booking seriously.
