So what's it all about?

"An ancient form of theatrics rooted in physical comedy, clowning transcends language and cultural barriers by finding the absurd in the everyday."

When you think of clowns you might imagine scary memes or horror movies. But you've probably seen clowning on TV or in movies without realizing that was what you were watching. Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton are examples of famous silent-movie era clowns. Mr Bean, played by Rowen Atkinson, is a contemporary example, as is Dawn French in this magnificent sketch: https://youtu.be/tRN17AJ0RY8.

Clowning is the serious art of silly play, and possibly one of the most difficult art forms for adults to attempt, let alone master. But if you are ready to challenge yourself to let go of your inhibitions and fully explore your inner child, perhaps give it a go.
