Clowning bridges the mundane and the magical with a sense of wonder and innocence. It teaches you to be authentic and to connect with others in a light-hearted way. At its best, clowning can speak the language of the heart and touch your soul.

In this energetic introductory workshop you'll discover your inner clown in a way that is organic, freeing and fun. We'll explore physical and emotional expression, inspire our natural humour and learn again the value of play in our lives. Discover the red nose – the smallest mask in the world.

Richard Dunkerley has been leading clowning and creative play workshops for 7 years. He says he found clowning was a natural progression from accountancy! He also teaches the Alexander Technique and is co-director of "Alternatives" at St James' Church, Piccadilly, London. This workshop is mainly for adults but also suitable for older teenagers (15+).

Such a rollercoaster, but the best rollercoaster

Worthwhile in every sense, a present for life.

The most fun I've ever had with my clothes on.

I enjoyed most the freedom of not being judged.

Excellently led - I felt warm and safe.
