Finding Your Fool

A two-day dive into clowning, play + the art of the glorious flop

Two participants smiling, stood back to back doing an exercise in a clowning class.

About the workshop

Finding Your Fool is a two-day immersive workshop for people ready to go deeper into clown, presence and performance.

Through movement, games, improvisation and physical play, we begin uncovering the strange logic, rhythm and vulnerability of your clown. The work is playful, embodied and alive.

Clowning asks us to listen, react, fail, recover, and stay connected while the ground shifts beneath us.

Expect laughter, discomfort, connection, risk, ridiculousness and moments of surprising honesty.

No experience needed. Just a willingness to step in.
