School for Clowns! Feb to April 25
A rare opportunity to work with master clown Chris Cresswell in an exploration of the art and practice of the theatre clown.
We are thrilled to announce a new specialised clown course open to all ages at the Theatre Royal Brighton.
Inspired by the teachings of Jacques Lecoq, this 10 session course will encourage you to unleash the creative possibilities within clown work. Helping you find that magical place where everything is possible, where the mind heart and body integrate into the authentic simplicity of the theatre clown
Aimed at actors, theatre-makers, musicians, dancers and circus performers who would like to research and develop skills in theatrical clowning, the course will help you discover and develop your own clown persona, understand timing, technique and performance of this fascinating art form, and develop confidence and trust in your impulses so that you bring the joy of laughter to your audiences. There will be the opportunity to perform live on stage at Theatre Royal Brighton.
