Have you ever thought you were a total idiot? 

Good news! You probably are.

 

In this workshop, led by award-winning clown/director/teacher Lucy Hopkins, you’ll expand your amazing powers of perception by working for 3 whole hours in total silence. (Mostly total silence… with some risk of laughter).

There’s a whole world of beautiful, genuine connection to be made if we accept our own magnificence, admit the moment and let ourselves be seen exactly as we are. 

Let’s see what we say when we stop trying to say things. 

Probably something amazing.

*

This workshop will be highly participatory! 

You will be both performer and active audience member. 

Suitable for anyone who interacts with humans. 

Workshop: 3 hours silent work with 1 hour optional spoken debrief
