FAQ

Absolutely! The Clown Institute is all about serious play. We teach the art of clowning, actively tailored to people’s needs and environments. Whether you want to boost creativity in your team, inspire imagination in your classroom, craft a live performance, or simply bring more joy into your life, we have a workshop, class or event for you.

Not at all! Our classes are for everyone – whether you’ve never clowned before or you’re already a seasoned performer. We guide you at your own pace, helping you explore and grow.

Feeling nervous is totally normal, especially if this is new for you. The good news? Our classes are designed to help you feel safe, supported and free to explore at your own speed. And guess what? We find that those nerves soon dissolve, as laughter really is the best medicine!

Prepare to have fun! Each class is an interactive experience where you’ll laugh, play, and reconnect with your creativity. You'll learn through movement, improvisation, and games, leaving you with new insights about yourself and others.

We’re based in Sydney, but our clowning adventures happen all over; Sydney, regional NSW, and even Australia-wide. Keep an eye out and we might pop up near you soon, or let us know if you’d like us to swing by.

Psst! Have you checked out our online courses?

You’ll learn a wide range of skills, including:

• How to connect with audiences

• Physical comedy and comic timing

• Creative problem-solving

• Resilience in the face of failure (and turning it into something funny!)

• Collaborating with others and devising group performances

• Techniques to craft your own show

Not at The Clown Institute. We’re all about spreading joy, not fear. Our brand of clowning is playful, uplifting, and all about bringing laughter to others. No creepy clowns here.

Definitely not. While we do cater to performers, clowning is for anyone looking to tap into their creativity, build confidence, and embrace playfulness. It’s an incredible tool for personal growth, whether you're on stage or just want to bring more lightness into everyday life.
