The Online Clown Academy & Clown Workouts
The Online Clown Academy (previously Clown Workouts), was headed up by professional idiots Robyn Hambrook and Holly Stoppit. During the Pandemic Holly & I provided virtual space for clowns of all ages and all stages of their clown evolution to meet, play, connect and learn.
The online clown group first began back in March 2020, at the beginning of lockdown. We brought together a team of clown facilitators to create short daily mini clown workshops (Clown Workouts) on video. A whole bunch of clowns tried out the clown exercises in their own homes and posted photos and videos of their discoveries. We followed up our Clown Workouts with a bunch of Zoom Clown courses; Zoom Clown 1: Clown Play, Zoom Clown 2: Clown Devising and Zoom Clown 3: Personal & Political Clowning. Plus we ran two online Conferences which are documented on Holly's website: Clowns in Crisis and Clowning Out of Chaos.
We were both relieved to take our teaching back out into the world after the pandemic. And we both continue to follow our passions; Holly for the therapeutic and personal approach to clowning and me, the political. But of course, both are intertwined.
Our Facebook group is still going strong and the Clown Workouts are still archived there in the media section, including responses from idiots from all around the world. You can also find our here. Facebook page here.
