This year sees those wonderful mischief makers Third Heaven Cabaret take to the stage again. Whipping up a storm of oddity and illusion, expect to be taken into the womb of performance and spat out the other side. A world of make believe and twisted entertainment rain supreme in this one off spectacular...
We are delighted to have with us this year Jonathan Kay and his Nomadic Academy of fools who will be performing throughout the weekend. If you have not yet experienced the legendary wit of Jonathan then make sure you don't miss out:
'It is a Fool's prerogative to utter truths that no one else will speak.'
Jonathan Kay is a 21st Century Jester, for a generation bought up on passive forms of entertainment. Over the last 35 years Jonathan has developed a unique artistic practice, which he calls Fooling. There is something timeless about his work. It feels familiar and yet like nothing you have ever experienced before. A master of his art, Jonathan's workshops and shows are not only hilariously funny but they are also revelatory and invigorating. He leads you down the path of the Fool, where you will free up your minds, find inspiration and see that anything is possible.
The Nomadic Academy of Fools is a career development programme that trains professionals in Jonathan Kay's unique Fooling Technique. The technique explores how inner stories that come out of the performer, can be used as performance clay when creating plays. By using inner sacred/scared/scarred stories, the audience finds the space and freedom to reveal their own stories too, so that a hot pot of ideas and concerns can be played out and turned on their heads, to the great amusement of all. Auditions for the Academy take place each April. For more information visit the website. Members of the Academy work with the audience as often as possible, scratching their work in progress, incorporating it into the skills they already posses as performers and professionals.
