ONLINE CREATE YOUR OWN CLOWN SOLO – A WEEKLY COURSE OF 10 SESSIONS

with Harry ter Haar and Vivian Gladwell

An advanced course to guide you towards creating and performing your own 15 to 30 minute clown solo or duo with support from two leading teachers in their field (clowning and comedy writing). A good grounding in clowning is required.

The course consists of 10 sessions of 3 hours each week (two 1.5 hours with a 30 minute break in between). 

Participants will be required to bring a written piece from which they can work during the course. The written piece can be personal, biographical or based on a myth or fairy tale that inspires you.  

The course will consist of sharpening and honing the participants’ stories and scripts, and translating them into a clowning performance.  

There will also be an opportunity for one to one sessions with both tutors during the course. 

The last two sessions will consist of rehearsal and finalising their performance, either as a filmed stage performance or a short film. 

The course is limited to 10 people.

Pre-requisite: Participants will need to have a script and to have previously worked with Nose to Nose up to level 3.

Course fee: £650 (PAYMENT IN INSTALMENTS CAN BE ARRANGED)
This fee represents 30 hours group time plus individual supervision and feedback for your project.

Application: Please send us a brief outline of your experience in clowning or theatre and some of the themes you would like to work on – ideally with the start of a script from which to work. 

If you intend to work as a duo you can apply together with each of you giving a brief outline of your experience and the themes you would like to work on.
