Improvised Clowning
The Fool Effect clowns take stories from the daily news, local and personal sources offered by their audiences and re-interpret them with the clown's playfulness, irreverence and insight. The shows are an escapist feast presented with colour and style revealing another layer to the art of the clown. The Fool Effect have been developing their improvised shows for more than two years and have all been trained in the Nose to Nose style* of clowning. This gaggle of clowns bring a wealth of experience from touring theatre, new circus, storytelling, puppetry, mime and physical theatre, to auctioneering, DIY car mechanics, yoga, meditation, cement rendering and the making of yoghurt.
