The Freedom of the Fool: Experiments in Clowning

What happens when all the masks of intelligence, responsibility & social modesty
​you've spent years developing are removed?

The 4-part lab will dive intensively into the light and shadow parts of your clown body, hearts, voice and its possibilities of expression.

  • We’ll feel and share your clown’s inner world, finding the balance between true presence and receptivity to external impulses.
  • We’ll bring to light your simple clown persona (a playful idiot with limited regard for authority)
  • We’ll work on wielding stillness and focus like a sharp knife, giving attention to your intuition and emotional temperature.
  • We’ll access your inner madness, searching for your sparkly, grotesque and eccentric body and voice.
  • We’ll connect our imaginations and hearts with the deeply surreal and bizarre unravelling a profound humanity. 
 
This workshop series is capped at very small numbers to allow for a large portion of on-stage time, individual feedback, experimentation & reflection.

You are encouraged to attend and commit to all 4 sessions so that the same group participates and plays together over the year and builds on a shared language.

All walks of life and genres of artists and citizen-artists welcome (painters, sculptors, musicians, actors, dancers, puppeteers, directors, dramaturges, writers, mums and dads, retired folk etc.).
