Discover your inner fool with our longer course in clown comedy. Learn how to be stupid and hilarious on stage. Listen to the audience, find the fun and play with others to create something magical.

No previous experience is needed for this course. If you like being stupid, playful or want to bring more physicality and audience sensitivity into an existing performance, then this course is for you. Or if you've already explored clowning this course can help you play in new ways, learn some new aspects of clown and get to play more with the same group of people!

This course can help you become more playful in your life and on stage as you find it easier to discover the fun and take advantage of that through a series of improvised exercises.

Throughout the sessions we will cover aspects of comedy and clowning such as:

  • Game
  • Audience sensitivity
  • The flop
  • Complicity
  • Major / Minor
  • Fixed point
  • Props and costume
  • Devising

FAQs

What is clowning?

Clowning is often silly, physical comedy that fosters a deep connection to the audience. It’s one of the oldest and most universal forms of comedy, and its teachings can help all manner of performing, from stand-up and improv to acting and giving presentations and just having more play in your life!

Why should I sign up to this class?

Clowning is fun and playful. We're big believers that being more playful can help you live a happier life. Whether you're new to the world of clowning and comedy or have done some before, we manage the class so everyone feels welcome and gets to experience new things and different ways of thinking.

I'm a performer, how can this help me?

Clowning can help your performance in lots of different ways for heightening your audience awareness, building resilience through play, improving your instincts on stage and experiencing vulnerability. You can read more about this in our blog here.

Is this a solo or group type workshop?

All of the above! You can clown by yourself, with a partner, in a group, bring it into stand-up, acting, improvisation and life. Our workshops usually involve a mixture of solo and group work.

What happens in a workshop?

We'll do some warm up exercises which will bring you into the room and into your body. We'll then run exercises as a group, individually and in pairs whilst making links to why we are doing these as how they can help you learn more about yourself, your performance style and how to use these skills in your practice/ life.

Are there any breaks?

Yes, depending on the length of the workshop, energy of the participants etc. we'll have breaks. There will usually be at least one 5-10min break every 60-120 minutes.
