PLAY UP – A clowning workshop for PARENT and CHILD – Laughton Lodge, Near Lewes, East Sussex

with Ali Stockford and Jessica Hernandez 

“Sometimes you have to drop the rake and play in the leaves.”
Douglas V’Soskeg

Have you worked with Nose to Nose before? Are you a parent or grandparent and would like to share Clowning with a younger member of your family aged 8-12?

In this workshop you will embark on a journey together of discovery towards play, humour and clowning. We will start each morning with warm-ups  and games and move through the day towards improvisations on stage with a red nose.

This is a week of fun, laughter and connection. 

We will be working at Laughton Lodge, set in the Sussex countryside.

Both rooms and camping are available on site
