Teachers of the Month: Calum Johnston

Topic of the Month: Down to Clown - An introduction to clowning for adults

In this workshop we will be discovering what it means to become your own clown.

We will be exploring: play; pleasure; being an idiot; and connection with an audience on an emotional and physical basis. Down to Clown will lift up the veil on what it is to be your very own clown.
