Afa is a clown, film maker, musician and artist who is actively engaged and curious about how creative practices hold the power to liberate and transform. 

 Afa grew up in an eccentric family of theatre makers and artisans and has followed this craft all her life. Speaking the lanaguage of theatre from a young age.
She graduated from Goldsmiths University with a degree in Theatre and Performance and discovered Clown through the facilitation of visionary clown teacher Zuma Puma. Afa trained and apprenticed with Zuma over a 5 year period and wrote her thesis ‘Clown as Alchemist’ on her learnings from Zuma and research into the philosophical and historical contexts of clowning.
Afa has since trained with a number of clowning teachers including Lucy Hopkins and Julia Masli and volunteers with The Flying Seagulls Project who are crisis clowns working as humanitarian clowns with children.
Afa continues training rigorously with teachers that inspire her, ever-evolving her practice with new concepts and questions.
Recently Afa completed a full-time year in training as a Level 5 Transpersonal Arts Therapist in group-work which supports her in holding a safe and informed space for emotional well-being.

Afa is currently developing and touring a one woman clown show ‘Dada Yaga’ which explores folklore and the surreal encounter of ritual and clown.
