The Flying Seagull Project and Familia De Noche bring some joy (and a little silliness) to Little Folk
The Green Man PodcastShow Notes
A glimpse into some of the fun had at Green Man's Little Folk this year. The Flying Seagull Project share how their project started, as well as their aims to bring a little light to darker times. Familia De Noche discuss how they brought 'Clown School' to Little Folk field this year.
The Flying Seagull Project was founded in 2008 to bring happiness to children and communities in crisis, marginalised or suffering. The international charity currently has teams of entertainers, musicians, magicians and play specialists engaged in arts workshops, music and dance lessons, circus shows and clown doctoring all over the world.
Together they’ve spread love, light and laughter to more than 350,000 children in hospitals, orphanages, deaf/blind schools and refugee camps around the world.
Familia de la Noche is a female led award winning theatre company based in Wales. We make shows that are funny, beautiful, raucous and moving; using puppets, clowning, sound and music. Above all we love stories; we’ve adapted old ones and crafted new ones, always with a Familia twist.

Elizabeth is in conversation with broadcaster Huw Stephens.
