Outreach clown workshops
"A fantastic and energetic workshop full of laughter and happiness. Julia did an amazing job of getting the young girls out of their comfort zone and being comfortable with each other. As English is not their first language, the girls were able to participate with movement rather than language. In turn, this empowered them and made them feel happy and motivated."

"The World of Play" workshop is dedicated to the world of clowning and through it, we will nurture the playful spirit that is abundant in us all through games and exercises rooted in play.
​
Our playful side is our natural creative superpower, but it’s often suppressed by our fast-paced culture, technology, and societal expectations. We want to offer this workshop to reclaim our right to play and have fun with our community. We will get a taste of the world of clown and learn to find great joy and creative inspiration in ourselves, each other and things that surround us.
