Frequently Asked Questions for The Physical comedy Weekend workshop
Is clowning all painted faces and big feet?
That is just one aspect of clowning. In our workshop you have the opportunity to discover the clown in you. That is, your own playfulness, unique to you. Clowning is about a shared humanity, laughing with people, instead of at people.
I am a bit nervous about be open and vulnerable to strangers. Will this workshop be scary?
We all acknowledge that performing on stage can be nerve-wracking. This workshop will be conducted in a very supportive, playful and encouraging space, enabling you to try new ideas and take creative risks.
I am not very funny, so I don’t think this workshop is for me.
This workshop is very much about self -discovery. You may confirm that you are not funny and every routine needs a straight person, for a clown to bounce off.
However the more likely outcome is that others will find you funny in way that you never thought about.
I am so busy. I don’t have time. It is really worth giving up a weekend?
This workshop is very much an investment in you, as a performer. This is an opportunity for you to do something you love, to follow your passions.
I trained as actor but haven’t done anything for years. I miss it! Can I come?
Yes you can! This will be a great opportunity for you to re-discover your talent and passion.
Do I need to bring any equipment?
If you have anything, such as juggling balls or a musical instrument, and it is easy to carry, bring it.
Otherwise just bring yourself and your willingness to play. Bookings at www.trybooking.com/URBP

June/ July 2017.
Very excited to be revisiting The Dead Twin (performed in 2015 at FCAC) for the George Town Festival in Penang Malaysia. We will be performing from the 2nd September.
It was a pleasure to be teaching and sharing skills with a talented bunch of clowns at “Clown “O Clock”, as well as teaching at NICA.
A pleasure to be running physical theatre workshops at The Malthouse Theatre.
Through “Clown ‘O Clock” I met clown and street performer Daniel Oldeker. He asked me to help him in creating a new show for children. It will have it first outing at Brunswick Head NSW during the school holidays.
Working on a very special project for a community in SW Sydney for 3 bridges.
Pat Cranney who I had met through Sidetrack Theatre in the early 1980's. I am working on a short theatrical presentation looking at the effects of alzheimers on the man effected and his family..

Creative practice, including the visual and performing arts, are integral to their curriculum encouraging students to think outside the box and try new things not within their comfort zone.

Latest from Artists in Community International. www.artistsincommunity.me
written By Anne Riggs
Well, dear Friends and Supporters, it has been an interesting start to MakeDoTell 2017!
We landed in India a few weeks ago into a situation where there is little cash available through banks and ATMs as the government is trying to de-monetorise the economy. Like last year when we landed in Nepal when there was no fuel, we are seeing how a country is affected when these things we take for granted are not easily available. Long queues form at ATMs and people can spend many hours in search of one that has cash.
Unfortunately, our much-loved project in the Saltpans was cancelled at the last minute as our local people were no longer available to help us – particularly with translation. We always work closely with local people as their knowledge and connections make the project meaningful and sustainable; without them, it is just not possible to run a project – especially in these remote rural communities.
We rescheduled our program and were made very welcome at the Mahatma Gandhi International School in Ahmedabad, where we have run many arts workshops with students and teachers over the last few years.
We had intended to come here later to help them with their community engagement projects, but at this time we are helping teachers develop art and drama skills.
MGIS is a very progressive, socially-aware school who collaborate broadly and with very disadvantaged schools and communities, including schools in the salt pans. It may be that in a few weeks we will collaborate with them on one of their projects in the salt pans. We hope so.

artists in community International launches Make do Tell 2017
www.artistsincommunity.me
MakeDoTell 2017is happening in India. In addition to returning to the saltpans, we will spend most of our time training students and community leaders in arts practice for community development. This is in response to needs expressed by our partners in India as well as being good community development practice. Community leaders receive training so that skills and projects can be adapted, owned and run by, and within, particular communities.
So we are asking you, once again, to jump on board and support the work.
I’d love to! but how?

MakeDoTell What is it?
MakeDoTell is a skills based, arts and education, and arts and health project. We run it in partnership with communities, in schools and higher education, alongside health workers, teachers, social workers and artist to enhance wellbeing, access to education, and better health. We strive to nurture creativity and the imagination in our participants – which can be applied in aspects of life.
MakeDoTell: making art and theatre, being creative, learning, making childhood fun.
MakeDoTell: doing drama and art together, being active.
MakeDoTell: being resourceful and adaptable.
MakeDoTell: giving participants a voice through the arts. Creating stories of participants’ lives.
Where in India?
We will be returning to the Salt Pans for our fifth visit. This time we will work in the community schools, helping support the teachers to bring imagination and creative practice into the classroom.
The project here has developed gently for five years. In that time, we have forged strong relationships with many people in this desert community. We have run art projects in the salt workers’ huts and last year, in the tiny local saltpan school. These projects happen with the invaluable input and support of our Indian colleagues Dhanraj Malik, Tarif Khan and local teachers. We are very excited to be expanding this project to include more of these small schools.
Whilst in this desert area, we intend to run some workshops in the local high school and after school program for children who have little access to resources.
