There are also workshops in maskwork, mime, and clowning, to name just a few.

British group Ockam’s Razor are opening with their stunning arial theatre show, THIS TIME. Meanwhile, Thick and Tight, Told by an Idiot and Vamos Theatre will be showcasing their latest works. The international guests include Peeping Tom and Kiss and Cry Collective.
