# Event Details

- **Event Name**: More Connection and Freedom - Clowning Around Morning
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 19 Apr, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sun, 19 Apr, 2026 at 01:30 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: About the Workshop

This workshop is for anyone who is curious about Connection and Freedom in play, this includes those who were on the March 'Connection and Freedom' Afternoon and want to explore the theme further and those who want to explore it for the first time.

We will be focussing on activities and games involving, mirroring, copying, leading, following, contrast, and improvisation. And, as always, there will be the option to wear fancy hats to bring out your inner silliness (or seriousness!) and space to reflect on your experiences. This will all give you the opportunity to explore when you like to play by feeling free to do your own thing and when you like to play by responding to your connection with your play-mates or with an audience.

Clowning Around offers the chance to pause, notice what's going on around you, and see what happens next. What emerges can be poignant, engaging, ordinary, and, perhaps, extremely funny. And it doesn’t have to be a finished product to share in a formal circus or theatre setting (though it can be!).

With a big emphasis on the importance of looking after yourself, I will support you in being guided by your physical and emotional experiences to play as much or as little as you want to. Group size will be limited to twelve to make a comfortable play space.


Who is this workshop for?

Anyone over the age of 18 who wants to give it a go! This could be because you're curious about being creative through clowning around, because you want a chance to be silly, because you want to bring more play into your professional work or into your life, because you are a performer who is interested in exploring a different mode for being on stage, etc! There is no previous performance experience required.

I have some spaces available at a reduced rate. If cost is a barrier for you then please contact me via my website (www.clowningaroundworkshops.co.uk/contact-book).


About the facilitator - Iona May-zing (she/her)

I have been learning about Clowning for over ten years and have been facilitating Clowning Around since 2023. I like to provide opportunities for participants to have a go at being themselves, in front of an audience, and without a plan. I am always delighted to see the stories that emerge from playfulness, as if by magic!

Clowning forms a big part of my writing practice too. My poetry collection, 'Breaking Down Loudly' (Verve Poetry Press), uses clowning to talk about grief, family, and friendship and I launched this collection by performing a one-woman show based on my poems.

In another part of her life, I have been a Religious Studies teacher in Primary and Secondary Schools. Here, I learnt a lot about playfulness, storytelling and providing a space where people are brave enough to 'give it a go' (and often enjoy themselves in the process!). I am currently building on these skills through completing my Clowning Facilitation Training with Nose-to-Nose.

Clowning has brought me so much joy over the years and has helped me to get to know myself better. I am eager to share this feeling with others.You can find out a bit more about me and what I do on my website. Here you can see some more specific information about the exact shape of a typical workshop but please do not hesitate to get in touch if you would like more details.
