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.
Presented by: Nicola De Rosbo-Davies
