Clowning Workshops for Young People

Drama Workshops for Young People

Thursday, 20 July 3.45-5.30pm (8-13 yrs)
Thursday, 20 July 6-8.30pm (14-18 yrs)

Learn the basics of Clowning with award-winning performance artist Amy Grace Laura!

Over the workshop everyone will play a series of games which subtly teach the core elements of Clown Performance – Playfulness, Listening, and Openness. You or your young person will barely notice they're learning these foundation skills as they laugh and have fun playing classic games with little clowning twists.

These Clowning Workshops are based on the clown training Amy received at the John Bolton Theatre School and Feminist Clown Posse.

The clowning Amy shares is based on the Lecoq Pedagogy. This isn't a Circus Clowning class – there's NO face paint or scary costumes! If you or your young person has a phobia of clowns they'll manage fine at this workshop.

Notes: Classes will be held in the Mākoura College Hall. Classes separated into age groups to offer a relatable and playful environment for students. Classes are capped at 20 people.

8-13 yrs - 20 July 3.45-5.30pm
14-18 yrs - 20 July 6-8.30pm
