Guerrilla Gardening for Clowns in Brighton
Tuesday, March 17th, 2009The world of permaculture meets rebel clowning.
This is a two-day workshop where people can learn the ancient art of clowning and methods of direct action in the context of permaculture design.
Where and When
Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 March
Hanover Community Centre, Southover Street, Brighton BN2
Saturday 1-7pm and Sunday 10am-5pm
The intention is threefold.
1. Exploring ways to reclaim a sense of community and openness with each other, fostering group intelligence.
2. Reclaiming our bodies, spontaneity and natural creativity through clowning.
3. Reclaiming land on a local scale and beginning a community garden.
We will be working with games and exercises involving rebel clowning as well as permaculture design and guerilla gardening.
Who is facilitating the workshop
I have facilitated some 30 or so workshops in clowning and taken part in numerous workshops in fooling (which has given me a wealth of experience working with people creatively in groups). I have also taken part in a permaculture design course.
The workshop is run on a donations basis. Please donate what you feel the cost of such a workshop would normally be – obviously within the limits of what you feel you can afford.
If you are coming to the workshop, please email me on
kugi@rebelclown.net to let me know so I have some idea of the number of people who will be turning up.
Also, please bring food to share for lunch.
Also, please invite your friends!
Looking forward to playing together.
