We are delighted to be announcing two new projects!Â
A Couple of Clowns is a new show in development - working with two superb clowns - Alice Mary Cooper (Waves, The Bean Counter) and Stanley Pattison (Paperbelle, Moussa's Castle).
A Couple of Clowns is new clowning performance for children and their friends and families. In this first development stage we think it might be a guided tour... Maybe a museum, a library, a science centre, an art gallery, a school, a toilet… Â
The possibilities are endless - the only fixed factor is that our two Clown Tour Guides know absolutely nothing about the location. Â Awkward? We hope so :)Â
Artistic Director Heather Fulton will spend a week with a couple of clowns developing the idea in July in Moray. Â During this we'll be sharing some images, films and thoughts on what we get up to.

Indispensable Me is our summer participation project for young people aged 12-19, funded by Project ARTS - Forres Area Creative Place Programme- and in partnership with Quarriers Young Careers Support Service, Moray.  Â
Inspired by NESTS by Xana Marwick, Indispensable Me focuses on what is a young person’s place in the world – what is essential for young people to live; flourish; survive.Â
Â
What is a must have? Internet access? A mobile phone? Love? Food? Space? Quinoa?Â
 With an image of Donald Trump and a group of white middle-aged men signing a document that will affect the reproductive options of women across the world - what decisions is it essential we have control over?Â
 How indispensible are we to a Facebook petition or are we more essential to a friend’s Facebook profile and self-esteem.
Â
Indispensable Me will look to explore all of this in one big, fat, go. Over a programme of workshops Frozen Charlotte’s Artistic Director Heather Fulton will work with a group of young people in Moray to explore these themes.  Using drama and other artistic mediums such as photography; movement; written word – we will collaboratively explore the concept, working towards a sharing at the end of a one week summer school. Â
This sharing will reflect and celebrate the outcome of the exploratory work and may take the form of a performance, installation, exhibition or event.
Indispensable Me will take place in the Forres area from the 7th-11th of August.  Places are free and still available so please contact us for more information. Â
