The brilliant Carol Thompson is running her introductory Clowning Workshop, The Courage to Be, again. It’s in London, starting at the end of this month.

It’s possibly the most intense, exciting and challenging training I’ve ever done and I highly recommend it.

This is not about clowning in the sense of rickety cars and buckets of tickertape. It’s a very stripped down form of improvisational theatre which has much to teach about presence, spontaneity and collaboration. Here’s what I wrote about the course when I did it last year.
