Taught by an Idiot Out On A Whim A clown journey for Phosphoros Young Company This residency was led by one of the UK's most natural and instinctive clowns, Joey Holden and physical theatre and comedic performer, Jerone Marsh-Reid. The project explored Told by an Idiot's approach to 'making it up', diving into clown, improvisation and anarchic physicality. It culminated in a relaxed sharing of the work to an invited audience. Feedback includes: “I loved playing the game with the ball that kept transforming into different objects” - participant “We could definitely use this in future performances” - participant “At first I felt like I just wanted to watch, but then I realised this was actually really fun” - participant “It’s been wonderful to see confidence grow, ideas develop, and young people embrace spontaneity, imagination and play” - Phosphoros staff “Some members did not want to join in and the facilitators welcomed them and helped them build the confidence to perform to an audience” - Phosphoros staff
