Find Your Funny: Intro to Clown (Level 1)

Dive into the next level of comedic exploration with our 3-hour Level 2 Clown Workshop!

We will work on crafting unique clown characters, explore their dynamics, and construct short clown routines. This highly dynamic workshop extends the skills acquired in the introductory course, inviting participants to immerse themselves in a physically engaging and laughter-filled experience! This workshop will be a highly physical one, so come dressed in comfortable clothes and be prepared to play.

I have never attended an introductory clown class before, can I attend a Level 2?
It is recommended that all students attend an introductory clowning class because we will be building on the basics we have learnt in level 1. If you have done clown training before, this workshop would be a good refresher or place to jam and build that clown muscle in you.

Do I need a red nose?
Red noses will be provided.
Do I have to be funny?
No. The workshop helps us all discover our clowns. Clowns come in various shapes and sizes, talents, and abilities. Sometimes we laugh at clowns who cry or clowns who are too serious, being funny is not at all required.
Do I have to bring anything to the classes?
As our activities and games involve movement, we’d advise wearing athletic gear and water to hydrate.
(Note: Skirts/dresses might impede some movements)
For this workshop, all students will be asked to bring a piece of costume that brings them pleasure.
