RAFFLE UPDATE!!!

NEW ITEM for the red ticket raffle: Hand-lettered sign, custom-made for the winner. Signs measure 4.5 x 14″ (with ropes for hanging and photos) or 5 x 12” (without). Winner will be put in contact with artisan to arrange finished design.

All red ticket raffle entries are £2 each or 26/£40.

PHYLLIS raffle - these are for the green tickets. Phyllis graciously took the time to do two illustrations of her choice for our raffle. We had no idea what she’d be drawing, but she chose to do caricatures of Elderflower and Clowndoctor practitioners! They’re obviously one-of-a-kind and she’s signed both. Each measures approximately 8.5″ x 11.5″ and will be shipped unframed to the winners. Click image below to display fully.

All green ticket entries are £10 each or 6/£40 (and also earn red tickets as stated above).

WINNERS for each raffle will be drawn 15 August, 2020. Winners will be drawn at random and while it’s possible to win one red raffle item and one green raffle item, we will try to have thirteen different winners for the red raffle and two different winners for the green. Should we not have enough entrants we will revisit that plan.

Donations can be made HERE and will be accepted through noon on 15 August 2020. 

Thanks so much for your generosity - help us reach our goal of £1,000!

Why I went from being an actor to a clowndoctor

     “I’m not crazy, really…it was just a MISTAKE. “

Yet she’s still tugging forward on the cuffs linking her to the table, a simple piece of metal that could either be BROKEN from restraining her, or quite literally melt away from her wrist to gain freedom. It’s something the Gotham workers seem to ignore when considering how POWERFUL the girl was before them; she could break out at any second, yet she doesn’t.

Azul tinted eyes looked to the blonde, tears prickled in her eyes causing eyes to appear bluer than they actually were. The hurt that she felt was more than she’d ever felt before. Someone had shoved her into the wall, a threat as given, then it was her husband that had saved the day.

The smell of burnt flesh still singed within her nostrils and though she felt like justice had been served, she couldn’t help the overwhelming feeling of panic.

20/8/2017: Queen Rania visited the Queen Rania Al Abdullah Hospital for Children, where she sat in on an interactive educational session as part of the Children Museum Jordan’s ‘Beyond Museum Walls’ program.

Launched in April 2017 through funding from local and international organizations, ‘Beyond Museum Walls’ aims to foster children’s scientific abilities by bringing the CMJ’s hands-on learning activities to those who would otherwise be unable to experience them. Since its establishment, the program has conducted 19 visits to hospitals, refugee camps and refugee host communities across the Kingdom, bringing the CMJ’s leading educational programming to approximately 860 children.

Her Majesty was briefed by Director of CMJ, Sawsan Dalaq, on the museum’s recent partnership with the hospital. Queen Rania then joined a number of patients and their parents while they watched a comedic performance that teaches science to children in a fun and interactive manner. Following the session, Her Majesty toured the medical facility, making stops at a number of patient rooms, where children and their families were entertained by performers from Red Noses Clowndoctors International. She also stopped by the hospital’s educational facilities, where patients are able to continue their schooling under the Learning Opportunity program. (Source: Petra)

Launched by the hospital’s Royal Medical Services Directorate in 2016 in cooperation with the Ministry of Education, the Directorate of Education and Military Culture, and the Civil Defense Department, the Learning Opportunity program offers classes in key subjects to children from grades one through six, allowing their schooling to continue uninterrupted throughout their hospitalization.

Inaugurated in 2010 by His Majesty King Abdullah and Her Majesty Queen Rania, the Queen Rania Al Abdullah Hospital for Children is the Kingdom’s first and only specialty pediatric surgery institution in Jordan. Located within the King Hussein Medical City compound, the hospital provides services in 25 medical specialties to the nation’s children.

Introducing our Starter Artists

Top row: Iain Craig, Diane Thornton, Hardeep Pandhal and Nima Sene.

Bottom row: Louise Ahl, Sean Wai Keung, Sara Shaarawi and Daniel Livingston.

Last year the National Theatre of Scotland marked its tenth anniversary by launching a brand-new development opportunity for Scottish artists. We are delighted that the Starter programme is returning for 2017.

The Starter programme offers eight artists a funded residency of £2,500 to help them develop their skills, networks, and explore a new idea for a piece of theatre. From more than 170 applications, eight ideas were selected which represent the breadth and scope, imagination and ambition, of a vibrant cross-section of Scotland’s diverse theatre-making community. Involving approaches that range from script-writing and text based work; to puppetry and visual theatre; to experimental and choreographic work; to street theatre and work for children and young people. The artists will explore topics as diverse as Chinese takeaways, race and police brutality, Gaelic audio and visual installations, and the medieval Scottish tradition of flyting.

The Starter artists selected are:

Louise Ahl

Louise Ahl is a Glasgow-based artist originally from Sweden, making experimental and choreographic performance work. She creates both solo and collaborative multi-art-form pieces. In 2010 she began making work with her performance persona Ultimate Dancer, who was born as a half-joke/half-critical/wholly-serious attempt to explode and lovingly re-manifest the art form of dance.

Louise’s work is dedicated to pushing at the edges of choreography, performance and visual art, working away from narrative based performances, instead making ambitious and detailed thematic concepts for work to exist in, using movement, voice, light, sonics and language.

Iain Craig

Iain Craig is an animator, illustrator and set designer based in Glasgow. Originally from the north west Highlands and a native Gaelic speaker. His work in theatre has included creating animation, set design, illustration and graphic design for companies including A Moment’s Peace, Theatre Gu Lèor, Starcatchers, Imaginate, Macrobert and he was storyboard artist for the National Youth Theatre Commonwealth Games Athlete’s Village opening ceremony performance.

In 2013 Iain was Visual Artist in Residence at Lyra Theatre in Artspace. He is also an Associate Artist with Imaginate, having recently competed a 11 week residency with Bun-sgoil Taobh na Pàirce in Edinburgh, working with Primary 6 to create an installation-led story telling development piece.

Daniel Livingston

Daniel Livingston is a multi-skilled theatre-maker who has worked across the U.K. and internationally. He has worked on many different productions in many different roles from director, designer, scenographer, makeup artist to actor and performer. He has worked professionally with notable theatre and film companies such as Channel 4, Citizens Theatre, The Arches and Cirque du Soleil. 

He is also co-founder of Inkblot Collective. Along with his professional work he has delivered many different workshops for young people to professional artists. His work merges different art forms together to create a strong visual performance.

Hardeep Pandhal

Born in Birmingham, Hardeep Pandhal now lives and works in Glasgow, having graduated with a MFA from The Glasgow School of Art in 2013 with the support of a Leverhulme Scholarship Award. He was selected for Bloomberg New Contemporaries (2013), the Glasgow International Open Bursary (2013), the Catlin Art Guide (2014) and the Drawing Room Bursary Award (2015).

Recent shows include a solo show ‘Hobson-Jobson’ at Collective Edinburgh (2015) and groups shows ‘The Vanished Reality’, Modern Art Oxford (2016) and ‘Nothing Happens, Twice: Artists Explore Absurdity’, Harris Museum, Preston (2016).

Nima Séne

Nima Séne is a performance maker from Berlin based in Glasgow. Their work questions, interrogates and celebrates obscure and known experienced facets of identity. Their agency lies in making the invisible visible, the undesirable desirable, the unknown known and the complicated, complex. Their work as a maker and as a performer/actor is situated in dance, music, film, visual art and performance. They currently work in Glasgow (spoken word and queer club performances, Transmission Gallery, acting in new Scottish short films, latest project “Bloody Love”), Berlin (Tangente Company) and have recently completed the Arts Admin BANNER graduate award scheme in London.

Sara Shaarawi

Sara Shaarawi is a playwright, translator and performer from Cairo who is now based in Glasgow. She has had her work performed at the Tron Theatre, Traverse, Village Pub Theatre, Platform and the CCA. Sara also took part in the Playwrights Studio Scotland’s 2015 Mentoring Programme and the National Theatre of Scotland’s Breakthrough Writers programme in 2016, and is one if the recipients of the 2017 New Playwright’s Award.

Other credits include dramaturg, performing and translation for ‘One Day in Spring’ (Òran Mór /National Theatre of Scotland) and ‘Here’s the News from Over There’ (Northern Stage).

Diane Thornton

Diane trained as an actor at Queen Margaret College, Edinburgh and Ecole Philippe Gaulier, London. She started off acting in London before joining an international crew of theatre-makers creating performances with communities in Kosovo and Bosnia. Those projects and her work with Contacting the World committed her to socially engaged and collaborative performances. 

She performs regularly as a Clowndoctor and Elderflower with Hearts&Minds. She is co-founder of Tenterhooks, making outdoor performances and wild play projects such as the interactive family show ‘Call of Nature’ and the intimate walkabout ‘Dance wi’ the Deil’.  Diane lives on the Cowal peninsula in Argyll.

Sean Wai Keung

Sean Wai Keung is a poet, performer and spoken word artist. His interests lie in the intersections between forms and he often utilises chance elements into his work. In 2013 he was awarded the Farrago Zoo Award for Best Debut Performance and his debut poetry pamphlet, to be released later this year, won the inaugural 2016 Rialto Open Pamphlet Competition. He has worked in London, Norwich and Glasgow, where he currently resides.
