CIRCONNECTION
From 2012 to 2016 I have been involved in documenting two European Partnership Training programmes, Circonnection and ENCI. This involved developing the websites, writing blogs and taking & collating photos. Here is the written culmination of the two projects:

ENCI
In 2013 I created our very own newspaper reporting on the research project with members of the Five Rings Youth Circus. The La Bonche followed the journey of these young people and their discoveries as they explored the circus heritage of the North East of England. The project also culminated in a show with young people, and the video I created (see above) that also documented the journey.

Robyn’s research, started during her Masters, has been exploring the meeting point of clowning and activism, online, in the real world and with international collaborators. With this drive to explore political edges of her work she has also dived back into the world of the Bouffon; training with Jaime Mears, Eric Davis, Nathaniel Justiniano, Tim Licata, Al Seed and the grand master Bouffon-himself; Philippe Gaulier.
