THIS COURSE IS FULL

intercurtural-clown-2013-62-300x225A rare opportunity to work with one of the originators and teachers of our work Bertil Sylvander is a founding member and director of the Bataclown.

This course is highly recommended to people who have some experience of our work. Participants on this course say that this course is unlike any other clown course they have experienced – and many keep coming back year after year. The workshop is set in the beautiful grounds of Emerson College, Forest Row, Sussex, UK.

It offers the opportunity for six English speaking participants (previously from Germany, UK and the US) to work with six French participants to explore and celebrate their cultural differences through clowning. The playfulness and authenticity of clowning offers a safe and fun way to meet with what is new and unfamiliar in our lives.

The course limited to 12 people.
