Holly Stoppit is a performer, director, facilitator and dramatherapist. And teacher of clowns and fools.

“At the heart of all of Holly’s work is a desire to promote creative discovery and connection through play.”

I am Holly’s event coordinator and course administrator for her performance and personal development training courses for clowns and fools, under the heading of Holly Stoppit Workshops.

I am also Holly’s poet-in-residence, responding to performances and courses in poetry, sometimes writing live at events – reading my words at the close of the show – sometimes afterwards, incorporating words from performers, audience members and feedback forms to create collage-type poems, other times using my embodied experience to respond to what I have been part of.

Find my poems, and some videos of me reading them, on the Holly Stoppit website.

Muddy Faces sells high quality kit for those working in Forest Schools & outdoor play and learning. 

I developed & manage their free Outdoor Hub – a nationwide resource providing comprehensive access to a vast range of activities, events, documents and links relevant to anyone working or interested in outdoor play and learning. 

In 2020 I became editor of the newly launched Outdoor Practitioner magazine – a free online magazine for practitioners, schools & nurseries, and anyone looking to improve or initiate outdoor provision in their setting.
