Jack McGee  The Magnificent Weirdos upcoming play-reading series celebrates eight new short plays, all created by “writers and devisers with lived experience of disability, neurodiversity, d/Deafness or mental distress.” All of these plays are twenty minutes in length, and still in a first draft stage. This isn’t by accident, no-one’s missed a deadline. It’s the whole point.

Sean Burnett Dugdale-Martin Clown Module Summer 2025. Left to Right, Back to Front: Back Row: Cieran (spy from the year course) 2nd Row: Ryan (Boy Scout), Maya (MGM lion), Tessa (Cave Woman), Loki (post- or pre-Dracula), Alvin (Elmer Fudd) 3rd Row: Daniel (Pope with Barbie), Francesco (American Wrestler), Lucy (King Kong), Amy (Snow White), Sam (Bird of Paradise), Mike (Lucky Luke), Baran (Firefighter), Alex (Popeye), Lorenzo (Gigolo) 4th Row (2nd from front): Nona (butcher), ME!

The year course is broken up into many modules, split across three semesters, ranging from Greek Tragedy, Neutral Mask, Bouffon, etc. Last time I was there I completed Le Jeu and this time I have just completed the clown module (the only other module I was interested in).
Below you will find three sections: Another Day In The Life, What I Think and How I Feel, and finally a broken down budget (all in NZD). The “Another Day In The Life” is an amalgamation of things that happened across different days (if clown peeps try come after me for continuity) and if after all of this you’re interested in seeing the clown in action: The Devils Are Coming is at Whiskey & Wood on the 28th August and my solo clown show that I’ll be touring has one night only at the Hannah Playhouse in Wellington NZ on the 1st November. |
