Dirliebane acknowledges the current lack of diversity within clowning in Scotland and they particularly welcome applications from performers who identify as being of the global majority, disabled, neurodivergent, or any combination of these. They are happy to facilitate access needs for participants, and encourage applicants to bring them to our attention so that they can support them to the best of their abilities. They can provide a BSL interpreter at the workshop if requested. They will reserve two places for diverse groups.
