A Word From Your Instructor
The Five Steps of Your Creative Journey...
Every creative journey is different of course. But most will have to go through some version of these 5 stages. In Create Your Clown Masterpiece I will take you into each stage in detail with practical strategies, tips, reflective exercises and more, all easily digestible in videos and PDF work books.
Root Your Creativity
Creative process is sacred and special. Give yourself the right nutrients to allow powerful and deep ideas to take root and grow.
Euphoria of Exploration
Evoke a state of pleasurable and free flow that allows you to generate raw material without judgment or limits.
Alchemy of Distillation
Evoke a state of pleasurable and free flow that allows you to generate raw material without judgment or limits.
Business of Rehearsal
Through playful discipline start inhabiting your creation, living through it and discovering new dimensions within it.
Meeting Your Audience
This is where the clowning really occurs, in the encounter with others in a space of intimacy, vulnerability and play.

About your teacher
Barnaby King is an internationally recognised clown artist and digital creator who bridges the worlds of performance, teaching, and research.
​
Barnaby has been a clown since 2000, and is driven by a desire to make clowning available to more and more people, so that they too can experience the joy, lightness and connection that it has brought to him over the years.
​
His book, Ridicule and Resistance: Clowning as Social Practice in Colombia, was published by Bloomsbury Methuen in 2017. In 2009 he founded the ClownEncuentro International, an annual festival of clowning in Colombia.
​
And when he’s not busy doing all those things, he loves to direct and perform in all manner of clown shows, such as his latest creation, Ship of Fools, a collaboration with clowns from Sweden, France and UK

When do these courses run?Most of our courses are 'on demand', meaning they are self-directed using prerecorded materials and can be taken at your convenience. The Clown Connection also runs as a live (though still on Zoom) course 2-3 times a year.
-
Is all the work online?The learning materials, including videos, text, images and resources are online. However, an important part of all our courses is developing your own personal practice, which should be done offline.
-
Is it possible to learn to clown online?If you're new to the world of online clowning, this may seem like a strange concept, but in fact it is more than possible. Many very highly reputed clown teachers are teaching online and report results just as good as in live workshops, sometimes even better, because courses can last much longer. That said, we would always recommend enriching your training by taking in-person courses and workshops too.
Did you know this course is free for villagers?
But that's only the half of it...
