The Dreams of Bricks is a clown-show that has been created for primary-aged children currently residing in foster care. The performance is an interactive experience of the child safety practice tool: The Three Houses. The conceptual idea for the show was a reimagining of the social work practice tool for child safety officers to use with children, called the Three Houses Tool. This tool aims to involve children and young people in child protection assessment and planning and was adopted through drawing three houses: house of good things, house of worries and house of dreams (Weld & Parker, 2014). This project applies clown theory to the research and practice of hearing children’s experience of being in foster care.
