Spend two hours exploring the world of comedy, clowning and theatrical japes. What makes something funny? How do we add physical comedy into scenes and skits? By learning clowning techniques from experts such as Jaques LeCoque and Phillipe Gaulier we will tease out simple rules for comedy on stage. We will also look at sketch shows and extracts from comedy plays. Working with professional director and choreographer Lizzie Franks you will hone your skills, have loads of fun and be challenged! 

Please wear comfortable clothes you can move in and bring water and a snack (no nuts). 

Suitable for ages 13-18
