Dedicated to the exploration of one’s individual clown, shedding light on the parts of us which make us funny, ridiculous and beautiful, participants will explore a range of practical skills which are essential to develop a comic character.
This course is inspired by the teachings of Jacques Lecoq and aimed at actors, theatre-makers, musicians, dancers and circus performers wanting to research and develop skills in theatrical clowning whilst working in an ensemble.
