“Peta Lily is a teacher of comedy genius. Wonderfully freeing.” Course Participant

"A fascinating insight into the complexity and depth of clown taught with intelligence and passion. Incredibly useful and inspiring." Oliver Jones, Director

“I discovered so much - the best laugh I had for a long time!” Course Participant

Clown work is a valuable support for any performer. It helps you be in the moment, keep performances fresh, be truthful onstage and brings great insight into how to engage and transport an audience.
Find your own ‘unique stupidity’. Experience the Genius of the Clown. Learn the liberating rules of play. Sharpen your movement skills with extra techniques. Discover how to trigger and sustain laughter. Have fun with the magic Rule of Three!

Open your awareness and flexibility as a performer and gain confidence in improvising from scratch.

And Dark Clown? A chance to play with a darker kind of humour….an experiment with the edges of laughter…a way to create clown characters and performing ensembles with more edge and relevance…..a way to update the sweet and poetic image of the clown…..a way to make a more exciting and demanding rapport with audiences. Make ‘em laugh…and make ‘em ask: ‘how can I be laughing at this?!’

“Peta’s workshops are a perfect way to investigate clowning, comedy, working with the audience and physical characterization. Her knowledge and skills are immense.” Lyndi Smith, Associate Director of Mad Half Hour Theatre Company

“Peta Lily’s creative force really helps performers get to grips with their potential.” Andy Morton, Opera Singer

The course is packed with exercises and improvisation in an atmosphere where it’s safe to take risks. The Clown brings openness and initiates awareness on how to manage and audience, providing a great ground for exploring Dark Clown, where performers can stretch their boundaries to experiment with the dramatic potential that lies between funniness and fear. Lily's approach gives greater awareness, control, courage and spontaneity to the performer. This course is accessible to those who are new to clown, as well as those who wish to play, develop and explore their clown or their performing, comedy and improvising skills.

When? 10am – 5pm Saturday 13th & Sunday 14th February 2010
