2008 Laughing in a Foreign Language

February – April 2008:

Amanda Bate, Julie Whitehead and a number of active members represented and supported the Laughter Network at the South Bank Centre in London as part of a series of workshops to celebrate ‘Laughing in a Foreign Language’.

The exhibition took part over three months in the Hayward Gallery and included laughter sessions both in the Gallery and the Royal Festival Hall.

A fun piece showing how laughter can transcend cultural barriers was aired on BBC2’s the Culture Show.

The laughter sessions were a great success and the Laughter Network looks forward to working with the South Bank Centre again.
