Debuting a scratch performance of The Brownie Club at Watford Palace Theatre three years ago, Circus Performer and theatre maker Jessica Andrade would go on to develop a full length version of the show at Jacksons Lane Theatre. A theatre renowned for nurturing circus based work, Jessica’s pertinent show explores the topic of racism, something the performer has found she still, as well as many of us, confront today. Formed as a way to create a safe space from ignorant comments made by teachers and fellow students whilst at school; The Brownie Club was a friendship circle giving a voice to the marginalised and ignored. Ahead of the show in May, Jessica tells us more about the show’s creative process.
