At the Edge… – What kind of Fool are you? « We Are Eastside | Birmingham – Friction Arts have ‘an overwhelming series of offers over the next two weeks’ and asked me to post up the details. From this Friday, they have a residency by Jonathan Kay and the Nomadic Academy of Fools. Jonathan is a man ‘on a mission to reach new places with his fools and very, very, funny. For those of you who don’t consider yourself Theatre goers, this is not Theatre as we know it…so challenge yourself to a new experience.’ Here’s how:
Shows:
Fri 19th March at 8pm, ‘Know One’s Fool’ – improvised wonder from Jonathan Kay himself
Sun 21st until Wed 24th March inclusive at 8pm – ‘Shakespeare’s Richard II Scratch’ – ‘a magical performance without props or set, where the cast play all the parts’
Friday 26th March at 8pm – ‘Feast of Fools’ – performances by all the fools of a comedie de tragik nature’
Workshops:
Sat 20th – Sun 21st March, 10am until 6pm ‘Know One’s Fool’ – discover the dangerously daring art of fooling
Sat 27th- Sun 28th March 10am until 6pm ‘Know One’s Fool’ – discover the dangerously daring art of fooling again (some people are attending both workshops, recommended)
