BELCONNEN Arts Centre is going wild with its latest artist’s residency.
Mark Johnson, from The Fool Factory has been offered a residency in the Centre’s dance studio, for weekly 2 hours circus training sessions throughout September.
Over the residency period, Johnson, along with other performers, will be developing of solo circus routines, featuring juggling, staff spinning, poi, diabolo and other apparatus.
The Fool Factory is a Canberra supplier of roving and stage character clown entertainment, with a diverse selection of acts with a variety of themes. Their acts perform at festivals, public events, shopping centres, schools, corporate functions and private parties and you can expect Johnson to turn up in many strange guises.
Animatronic puppets, articulated stilts, props, costumes and electronic sound and lighting devices are his stock in trade.
A circus and clown since 1985, he also graduated as a systems engineer from the Australian National University in 1995.
