Edinburgh PaletteOur beloved hoover, Henry, is still missing from the third floor office. If anyone has borrowed it, please , please return it. Our blue sack trolley has also gone for a wander.
If it is not returned by tomorrow, Eddie will need to check through every studio in the building to try and find it as we really need them.

Whether you haven’t had some clown training yet, are a clown already or simply have some interest in this, we would love to invite you to take part in our next Exploratory Clown Laboratory, facilitated by Sáras Feijóo, from 23rd – 25th June, 11 am – 5 pm in Edinburgh (venue TBC).
The price for 3 days is £120 or 2 days for £85 (or 1 day – few spots available – for £50).
We will work on finding calm and focus on ourselves, build up the clown state through play, improvisation, joy and simplicity. There will be some work on movement, stillness, rhythm, exploration of emotions, energy levels, connection, vulnerability and the art of being oneself.
Coming soon … a touch screen in the ground floor lobby displaying the residents directory…
*** Have you filled in your profile? ***
You can check by clicking on the residents directory, finding your floor and seeing if you are listed.
Clooti have been hard at work with the touch screen that will very soon be installed in the ground floor lobby. It will help guide visitors to your studio. If you haven’t got your profile on the residents directory, you should do it now. If you are having any problems, come to the 3rd floor office and our wonderful intern, Marie, will be able to help you through the process.
