About the Event

I don’t know about you but the world is starting to feel a bit rubbish to me right now. 

Full of rubbish politicians

with rubbish policies

and huge rubbish companies

pumping the world with more rubbish everyday…

This is a call to BRING YOUR RUBBISH to this FREE workshop, where together we make a reimagined, hopeful version of this rubbish world!

A fun, relaxed workshop with acclaimed clown and live artist Frankie Thompson, learning a way to make magic out of things you throw in your bin. Bring yourselves and any rubbish you'd like to get rid of e.g scrap paper / tin foil / cardboard boxes / empty cartons / bottle lids etc (although please no glass!). Art materials provided.

‘Thompson is a magnetic performer, her clownish physicality a joy to watch.’ ★★★★ The Guardian
