MANDATE
The mandate of Foo Productions is to create quality one-person theatrical and/or festival clown shows that will:

• Entertain through the parody of existing theatrical genres

• Challenge audiences with provocative themes expressed through clowning and physical theatre
• Reach a more multicultural and diverse audience by creating imaginative and accessible theatrical languages.

Helen teaches theatrical clown workshops through Foo Productions regularly each year in Toronto.
