About the workshop<\/strong><\/p>\n

The workshop is open for anybody, with or without experience in performing. It is a fantastic tool for performers. But also an amazing experience and challenge for understanding yourself and life just a little bit more.
\nThe ideal number for our workshop is 16 participants.\u00a0So if you are interested please book fast.
\nThe workshop will be taught in English.\u00a0We will have three days to explore the world of clown.<\/p>\n

So what is a clown?<\/em>
\nIts impossible to say a definition, there are so many ways to live and look at the clown world. But two things that are true to all theories and the core of this workshop is the unique connection between the audience and the clown and laughter.
\nThe art behind clowning lies in the fantastic idiot hidden deep within us. The sublime ridiculous. Those deep down parts that we have been told to cover up over the many years in this world. Now its time to uncover, to let them shine and to display them with pride. To rediscover the beauty of vulnerability. To open a world true to impulse and laughter, making the audience really laugh at your beautiful idiot.
\nThe pleasure of this idiot is unique for every performer and in this workshop you will learn to discover what makes \u2018you\u2019 funny. An exploration into openness and truth of yourself. To be bad, to not understand and to fail, are celebrated and embraced through the pleasure to play in a fun and safe environment. You will develop trust as a group and journey deeper into the work as Richard supports you with clear and playful instructions and provocations.<\/p>\n
