Clown is not a character, a technique, face paint or big shoes. It is pleasure, play, openness and optimism. It is a state that sharpens your connection with an audience.
 
Over a full weekend, we’ll take time to stay inside that state and explore what makes each of us uniquely funny. This is a practical workshop, you’ll be on your feet, be seen, and hopefully having fun.
 
Across two days, we’ll move from simple presence into longer, sustained play.
