  • Clowning has been an inspiring and amazing experience. I've learned so much about myself – to embrace my humanity, my flaws, my inner child, my insecurities.

    Carolina

  • The workshops have helped me be real in the present, in performance and in life.

    Tim

  • Best laughter I've had in a while, I truly love that you can be yourself, explore the many funny sides of life, and spend time with lovely clowns laughing out loud. Absolutely recommended!

  • Shyness has always been a real thing with me. Clowning has helped me immensely to be more confident and speak up more.

    Eileen

  • Alicia made me feel welcome and safe from the start.

    Lisa

  • As someone with a history of mental illness I have found Alicia's classes immeasurably helpful. Her classes have greatly helped with self-confidence, coping with anxiety, as well as achieving and maintaining a positive outlook.
