Session times 11am-5pm daily (Venue TBC)Clowns are eternally optimistic and truly come alive in failure.
In this playful workshop we will explore how to be funny without even trying. The pressure to make people laugh will be graciously taken out of your hands and we will instead be finding ways to make you look ridiculous so you can hone your skills in listening for laughter and responding accordingly.
Focus:
Looking to the Laugh
Repeating the Funny
Falling in Love with The Flop
Saving your Mates
Doing Something vs Doing Nothing
