Clowning Around Workshop with Lucy Shelby

*Please sign up on our website: www.lucyshelby.com/clownworkshop

In this 4-week series, we will dive into the art of play through the lens of the clown. We will use age old clown and physical theatre games to explore and play, play, play. You will learn how to strip away your self-consciousness and embrace your humanity.

Why Clown? The clown is the embodiment of play, curiosity, and mystery. With the clown anything is possible. The clown teaches us how to bathe in the unknown and relish it, presenting us with many opportunities.

Why Play? It doesn't matter your career, interests, or skill level - clowning has SO many benefits for everyone! It improves social skills and connection, relieves stress, boosts creativity, stimulates brain function, and much more!

Who is clowning for? EVERYBODY! It doesn't matter your career, interests, or skill level--clowning is here to help you

Come shake off those pandemic sad vibes and connect back to your wild, free, and fun self!
