An Introduction to Clowning

A clown is simply a beautiful idiot that is plugged into the audience, playing for them.

---

Unlock the source of your comic nature, connect to your playful spirit and uncover your most creative self via the red nose, in this 8-week intro to clowning course.

Through group games, improvisation exercises, pair work and solo work we’ll focus on the most fundamental elements of clowning - presence, truth and playfulness. We will peel open the beautifool banana that you truly are and celebrate all that is wonderful and ridiculous about you.
 
​The classes are led in a playful and light spirit, so expect many laughs along the way.
 
In this workshop we will explore:

• The state of the clown – being open with your audience and listening moment to moment
• Playfulness of spirit – activating your curiosity and imagination and allowing the freedom to get things wrong
• Duo work - connecting to your partner and being generous with your ‘Yes!’
• Crack the body open - stretching your awareness of your physical presence and all its possibilities
• The flop – taking risks and staying light when difficulties arise
• Creative play – creating your own clownesque costume & persona
