Ready for a creative tune-up?

Transform your creativity with direct guidance.

Ever felt like your creativity needs a jolt of energy? You’ve got the ideas, but you’re just missing that something to push your work into the spotlight.

Enter the creative garage for artists and curious humans. Think of it as a creative check-up, where we fine-tune your performance, give you a fresh perspective, and get to the nuts and bolts of what’s holding you back. All with honesty and humour, of course.

Your Guide

I’m Alicia, your creative coach. I know what it’s like to feel a bit stuck, to be bursting with ideas but unsure how to piece them together. But don’t worry, we’ll do this together. With years of experience in clowning, physical theatre, and making people laugh (and sometimes cry), I’ll help you get where you need to be – and we’ll have fun while we’re at it.

You’re not alone in this

Right now, you need a spark to kick your project into high gear. You’re looking for clarity, feedback, and a creative partner who doesn’t just "get" it, but lives and breathes this kind of work. Sometimes all you need is an extra set of eyes (and a bit of silliness) to spot where the magic needs a little more polish.

 
    • An actor or performer looking to bring a solo or ensemble piece to life.

    • A clown, comedian, or physical performer wanting new tools in your comedic toolkit

    • If you’re in need of a creative tune-up session to workshop your ideas or find clarity

    • If you’re just craving some creative dialogue and artistic growth with someone who gets visual performance

  • When you book a session with me, here’s what happens:

    Refine your work

    Alicia will act as your outside eye and director, helping you sharpen every little detail so that each gesture and pause hits just right.

    New tools, new tricks

    From comedy to physical theatre, we’ll explore techniques to take your performance to the next level.

    Candid feedback

    We’ll cut through the fluff. You’ll get honest, actionable feedback that helps you see your work in a new light.

    Easy collaboration

    Solo? Ensemble? Doesn’t matter. We’ll help you navigate your process, making sure your work feels complete and impactful.

    Make it visceral

    Timing, space, rhythm – together we’ll create a performance that’s not just seen but felt by your audience.

  • (Just you, me and a lot of laughs)

    Neutral mask + red nose discovery

    We’ll strip everything back to basics, starting with the neutral mask to uncover your authentic movement, and then dive into the red nose to bring out your clown’s psychology and rhythm.

    Clown body analysis

    Let’s see how you move. We’ll explore it through film, drawing, or even sculpture to figure out what makes your clown or character physically unique.

    Character exploration

    We’ll find your clown’s voice, history, and personality quirks—everything that makes them, them.

    Situational clown improv

    Time to play! We’ll toss your clown into different scenarios and see how they react. The more unexpected, the better.
