Explore the calmness and space of the Neutral Masks, the spatial and emotional awareness of the Larvael mask, the characters within the Expressive masks, and the folly of the Half mask and Commedia!

The experience and study of the body in space lead to the progressive discovery of the principles of movement and artistic creation. In these theatrical movement workshops, we use movement based on the teachings of Jacques Lecoq and Etienne Decroux, along with poetic dramaturgy, masks, music, film, texts, and indoor and outdoor settings.

From supporting those playing the Red Nose for the first time to professional workshops and training, Freya delights in her role of birthing new clowns. She has a great selection of topical clown workshops for experienced and newer clowns. Freya works internationally, training professional healthcare clowns and coaches, and supporting teams and their trainers.

Using nature as an impulse for being, feeling, creating, focus and performance. Bringing workshops into nature or using nature as a theme creates an abundance.

The Gaza Monologues: With the text written by young theatre students of Ashtar theatre in Gaza, a performance workshop was created in Sauve, France, in Sept 2025, where a group of 21 performers read the 2010 and 2024 texts. Workshop facilitated, directed and produced by Freya Stang.

Using Art as the inspirational impulse, we connect with art and exhibitions, engaging with the felt sense and generate movement, breath, and sound. These images are from the North of Myth Exhibition, Artist: Joyce Majiski, displayed in Rovaniemi, Finland, at the Culture House Korundi, where Freya led workshops for the art students of the University of Lapland. Drawing on the cartoon art of the family Crumb and other artists in Sauve, France, Freya has led Simsalabim Ensemble in creating one-off performances that connect directly to the narrative of the exhibitions at the Galerie Vidourle.
