Synopsis

Discover your inner clown in this introductory workshop! Learn how to tap into your childlike wonder, authenticity and vulnerability to create an engaging clown performance.

 

Through a series of playful games and improvisations, the workshop will also introduce participants to elements of physical comedy, the history of clowns, and the comedic gags of the red-nose clown. This workshop will empower participants with the ability to laugh at themselves, think quickly on their feet, embrace failures, and build empathy and sincere connections with their community. 

 

This workshop is for anyone interested in building a playful and honest connection with themselves and others through clowning. As this workshop will be a highly physical one, participants are advised to dress comfortably and to be ready to immerse themselves in the playful world of clowning.
