Clown offers a unique way to access the imagination. During the workshop participants will cultivate the freedom to be zany and go for the unknown. Individual and group activities will give participants the chance to practice listening, following impulses and developing a sense of play. 

Prerequisites: You do not need to be a performer to take this workshop. Folks with many different life experiences can find freedom and pleasure when engaging with clown techniques. All clown-curious are welcome.
