Fool's First Step
Advertisement
A one-day beginner clown workshop in play, presence and creative expression.
For those new to clown, curious about play, or beginning their performance path.
Clowning is not about arriving with jokes, tricks or enormous confidence.
It begins with presence.
Listening.
Movement.
Connection.
In this full-day workshop, you’ll explore clowning through simple physical exercises, play, improvisation and shared attention.
You’ll begin to notice how your body communicates, how timing changes a moment, and how a small impulse can become the beginning of something strange, beautiful and very human.
This workshop is suitable for:
• Complete beginners
• Performers and creatives
• Actors, dancers, comedians and theatre-makers
• People wanting to develop presence and expression
• Anyone curious about clown but nervous about beginning
You do not need performance experience.
You do not need to be extroverted.
You do not need to be funny.
The workshop is held with care, consent and community. You will be invited, not forced.
We’ll explore:
• Arriving in the body
• Play as a practice
• Connection and shared attention
• Timing, rhythm and response
• Improvisation through movement
• Simple solo, partner and group work
• The first flicker of your clown
