Clown Soup
6 weekly Clown Play Sessions to warm you up this Winter
Don’t let the dark, winter nights get you down. Come inside and warm up with another 6 week block of delicious Clown Soup.
Join Robyn Hambrook (The Online Clown Academy, Bristol Rebel Clowns, Trickster Lab) and friends for your joyous weekly play sessions for clowns, actors, circus artists, improvisers and the curious. Each week we’ll be diving into the playful world of clowning where anything is possible, from the ridiculous to the tragic, from anarchy to ecstasy. We’ll explore the key principles of clowning including complicity, generosity, failure, success, acceptance and play! Expect a smorgasbord of games, improvisations, laughter and connection to a lovely clown community. These workshop are designed for participants at any stage in their clown journey and we will work both individually and in groups. Please wear comfortable clothes, bring a bottle of water and be ready to be physically active. *EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT* Two brilliant guest teachers will appear in this Winter block of classes: JAMIE WOOD Jamie is an international Art Clown, performer, director and giggle doctor specialising in teaching clown and devising. His generous approach to teaching and performance incorporates his training in fine art, theatre, clown and dance and ranges from the comic and poetic to the darkly surreal. https://www.jamiewood.org.uk DOMINIQUE FESTER Dominique has been teaching and performing in physical theatre for over 15 years.
