Eccentric Hat Making workshop Lexi Strauss

Malvern Cube

Date & Time: Sunday 10th November 1am - 4pm
Tickets: £10

A joyful hat making experience, designed to encourage clown-like expression via costuming.
From a wide range of recycled materials, participants will be guided to create their own unique, wearable headpieces to express authentic aspects of themselves.

We will briefly explore some clown performance techniques to help inspire the direction of our hat designs. And participants will bring with them a resonating, lightweight object/ objects, perhaps something both meaningful and fun, or possibly just something very beautiful to your eye, which you'd genuinely feel excited about wearing on top of your head in some form. These may, or may not, end up as part of the final creation.

Lexi is a multi-disciplinary artist, clown, art lecturer and facilitator. Clown Millinery forms a vital part of Lexi’s costuming practice, which includes their Clown Choir hats and Sheshayman’s dazzling Showgirl Shaman headpiece, in addition to many other pieces adorned by comic performers and fashionista’s alike.

Lexi last joined us at Feast in an Earthworm costume at Friday Night Bites in 2021.

Tea and coffee will be available but please bring food and snacks for lunch

Paradise Lost (lies unopened beside me) Lost Dog

Captioned Performance

Malvern Cube

Date & Time: Sunday 10th November 7.30pm (75mins)
Tickets: £12

A one man staging of Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost and not like whatever came into your head when you read the first bit of that sentence. combining theatre, comedy and movement this is a journey through the story of the creation of everything, condensed into 75 minutes. It is a show which brings you the highlights of this well-known but often forgotten story beginning with Lucifer’s rebellion and ending with Adam and Eve’s expulsion from the Garden of Eden.

A single man plays all the characters, creates all the scenes and, despite his best efforts, falls a little short of perfection. a show for anyone who has created anything (child, garden, paper aeroplane) and then watched it spiral out of control.

'The comedy is divine, but the images of love and loss are achingly human' ★★★★★ The Independent

'A heavenly new take on Milton' ★★★★★ Evening Standard
