The image shows a person wearing a red mushroom hat with white spots, a red clown nose, and denim overalls. They are smiling enthusiastically and pointing at a bright sparkler to their right, which is emitting sparks against a light purple background. The overall vibe is playful and whimsical.
The image features three versions of a clown character, all wearing red clown noses and set against a purple background:

- The left and right figures are dressed as stern-looking police officers in purple raincoats and black hats, with crossed arms and serious expressions.
- The center figure, wearing a mushroom-shaped hat and denim overalls, has an excited, happy expression while looking up at a lit sparkler floating above.

The contrasting moods of the figures create a playful and whimsical vibe.
The image shows three different versions of a person dressed as a whimsical clown with a red mushroom hat (featuring white spots), a red clown nose, and denim overalls. The background is a solid purple color. 

- On the left, the person is holding the straps of their overalls with both hands, wearing a patchwork apron and looking off to the side with a thoughtful expression.
- In the middle, the person is gazing upward while gesturing toward a lit sparkler floating above them.
- On the right, the person is standing with a surprised expression, eyes wide open, as they look directly ahead. 

The three figures are interacting with the sparkler in different ways, giving the image a playful, imaginative feel.

Spark

It starts with a spark, hidden in the dark.
For curiosity to find... Can I leave the world behind?

Enter a unique experience, reflecting Nicola De Rosbo-Davies' journey as a neurodiverse actor, constantly searching for joy. Inspired by Nicola's work as a drama therapist and humanitarian clown, including a memorable encounter with Patch Adams who claimed he never has a bad day, we explore the universal question: "How can we hold onto our spark, and can we hold onto it forever?"

This sensory-driven clown show takes you on a quest to capture your inspiration and joy in life. Experience the feel of water, the breeze of the wind, and the sweetness of a campfire. This immersive, inclusive theatre experience breaks traditional boundaries, inviting audiences on a poignant and hopeful journey.
