This immersive, joy-filled workshop invites participants of all ages to connect with their inner clown—not by performing, but by being present, playful, and open to the beautiful chaos of the moment. Led by professional mime and clown specialist Timothy Edward, you’ll discover how to be affected by the world around you, embrace failure, and let go of control through physical comedy, imagination, and honest reaction.
What to Expect:
Through a carefully crafted sequence of exercises, you’ll explore clowning as a practice of presence and discovery. Activities include:
🎭 Movement & Warm-Up Games – Get out of your head and into your body with exaggerated stretching, silly walks, and group mirroring.
🎈 Clown Discovery Exercises – Learn to interact with invisible objects and imaginary walls, reacting physically before intellectually.
👀 Audience Connection – Discover how the clown emerges in relationship to others. Feel what happens when you wave, pause, listen, and let the audience guide you.
🎪 The Clown’s Struggle – Tackle hilariously small problems with big reactions. Work in solos, duos, and trios to explore the humor of failure and effort.
🤡 Solo Clown Moments – Step into the spotlight for spontaneous play, supported by the group’s energy and real-time feedback.
🪞 Final Reflection & The Clown’s Bow – Reflect on your discoveries, share what surprised you, and take your final bow in true clown fashion—grandly, bashfully, or completely upside-down.
This Workshop Is For:
- Performers looking to deepen their stage presence
- Educators, facilitators, or creatives wanting to unlock new modes of expression
- Anyone curious about clowning, play, or physical storytelling
- Humans who want to laugh, move, and be delightfully ridiculous for a couple of hours
What You’ll Leave With:
A stronger connection to your physical presence, a new relationship with failure and fun, and a deeper understanding of the honest, reactive nature of clowning.
✨ Come as you are. No clown noses required. Just bring your body, your curiosity, and a willingness to be affected by the moment.
🎟 Reserve your spot today—space is limited, and the red nose waits for no one.
