Building on Maggie Irving’s PhD thesis on feminist clowning, this is a chance for women to understand how feminist clowning and comedy can support a feeling of freedom from social norms in order to build confidence and communication skills for professional and personal use.

• Be introduced to the concept of feminist clowning through Maggie’s practice as research doctoral study on becoming a female/feminist clown
• Creating an understanding of the fundamentals of feeling free and open to express yourself
• Building knowledge on using language and physical expression to create connections with others and generate laughter
• Telling our stories and sharing our unique points of view
