Upcoming Clown Schools
CLOWN SHOOL: FUNDAMENTALS
March 27-28-29
Friday: 6pm – 10pm, Saturday & Sunday: 2pm – 6pm
This 3-day Clown intensive is an exploration of presence, play and being seen without needing to perform. Drawing from contemporary clown practice, somatic awareness, and ensemble-based improvisation, the class invites participants to slow down, listen and notice what happens before we try to be interesting, funny or “good.” Clown here is not about jokes or characters, but about staying human in moments of uncertainty and discovering how connection, humour and relief emerge from that honesty. The work is gentle, rigorous, and deeply human: focused on staying with not-knowing long enough for something real to emerge.
Open to performers, improvisors and those with no performance background, this class emphasizes process over product. Through games, simple scores and guided solo explorations, participants practice arrival, contact, failure and restraint in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. Costumes and short clown turns are introduced as pressure and permission rather than performance goals. No prior experience is required, only curiosity, willingness to stay present and a desire to play.
Limited to 10 participants
$250 for all three days
