Presented by: We Did Good
The Moulin Beige was concocted a decade ago by Liz Skitch as a monthly clown-vaudeville dinner-and-a-show in Northcote, VIC. Showcasing local and international acts, it was a staple event of joy, delight and raucous play. Now run by the clowns behind We Did Good; Sharnema Nougar, David Tieck and Nicola Pohl. Their work is driven by a desire to bring people together to create shared experiences that are new and adventurous, as well as playful and profoundly unintellectual. They mix classic European physical theatre styles with modern improvisation techniques and general buffoonery.
