Presenting Dr. Dot-to-Dots

Don’t be misled by her fumbling about – she is almost as professional as the next clown doctor. She was born in a hospital, actually, and has therefore seen every trick in the book. Her special skills include doing dot-to-dots and singing but only if it’s a full moon.

She studied at (F)art School, achieving a Diploma in the (F)arts, then a BA in Fine (F)art and an MA in Visual (F)arts. Dr. Dot-to-Dots is very, very (f)arty.

She loves pom-poms and false teeth, but most of all Dot-to-dotting. Another hobby is buffing stuff and she is hyper aware of all the people who don’t shine but should.

In addition to healthcare clowning, Dot co-runs Eyebrow Arts in Norwich: taking participatory arts into care settings. She is an Associate Artist at the Sainsbury Centre of Visual Arts and is one half of live art duo Odd Comic.
