The Online Clown Academy Drop-In Sessions

Bring a little laughter, play, learning and connection into your life this September, with our brand new weekly Zoom Clown drop-in sessions.

These 4 x 1-hour exploratory themed classes take place on Zoom and are designed for adults at all stages of their clown journeys, from beginners to pros. Previous course students are also welcome.

Professional play facilitators Holly Stoppit and Robyn Hambrook will lead you through a journey of discovery, offering you many chances to explore body-based learning, and experience some of the mind and heart-expanding aspects of clowning, from the comfort of your own living room.

Zoom Clown Drop-In themes:
Accept: Thursday 3rd September, with Holly
Rebel: Thursday 10th September, with Robyn
Disrupt: Thursday 17th September, with Robyn

The Online Clown Academy (previously Clown Workouts), is headed up by professional idiots Robyn Hambrook and Holly Stoppit. They will be drawing on their vast experience and combined backgrounds in theatre clowning, rebel clowning (Robyn) and therapeutic clowning (Holly), to take you on a journey into stupidity and beyond!
