This is a clown bootcamp diving into the essential elements of clown! Explore the

clowns' connection to the audience, the ‘clown state’, complicité (playing together), your

sensitivity and vulnerability onstage.

This workshop is suitable for performers new to clown, with a little experience, or more

seasoned clowns who are looking to play, explore and connect in a respectful and

supportive environment.
