An event organised as part of the graduation phases of my BA studies at NCAD as well as a continuation of the mentorship from clown master and pedagogue Jef Johnson since. Johnson arrived in Dublin directly from Spain where he was hosted at Artmosfera to conduct a week of masterclasses. My role was to shadow Jef and document the events and workshops Granen. His lecture and performance for the ART & CLOWNING lecture series at the Rupert Guinness lecture theatre preceded guest tutorials with graduating SEP students and 3 workshops open to NCAD students and the public.
