Monthly clown class for performers
A year-long training ground for the brave, the ridiculous, and the creatively hungry.
One day a month, we gather to play, explore, and clown. Think of it as your monthly reset button - part training, part creative jam, part ridiculous release.
Now happening in three locations:
Sydney (monthly Saturdays at ReadyMade Works in Ultimo)
Gosford (monthly Sundays, in collaboration with Roundabout Circus)
Blackheath (monthly Saturdays, in collaboration with Bah-Hah)
Join us for a monthly escape into creative freedom, in a supportive community that celebrates your quirks. With regular chances to perform and grow, we give you professional guidance in the art of play to help you release your ridiculous and nurture your nonsense.
Timing, rhythm, stillness, risk, presence, vulnerability, play, stupidity, complicité.
A monthly deep-dive into:
Fixed point work
Audience connection
Status and tension
The poetic + the idiotic
Somatic clowning
The clown state
Creative intuition
Duo/ensemble play
Emotional absurdity
Building the performer, not the “act”
This is training for performers who want to get better.
Sharper. Softer. Wilder.
More themselves.
-
Actors, improvisers, theatre-makers, devisors, movement artists, hospital clown trainees, and full-time weirdos with performance experience.
Not beginner-friendly.
(But delicious for the curious intermediate performer who wants to play seriously.) -
