NORWAY CLOWN CAMP 2025
with Dr. Brown
​​​
Start the summer with living on a beautiful farm for two weeks, with amazing performers from all over the world and work with one of the best clown teacher in the world!
This workshop will ideally help you find your freedom and ridiculousness on stage and connect more deeply with an audience. Please note – this workshop can be quite difficult at times. In addition to encourage building on what is working, Dr. Brown will also point out when something you did on stage is not working.
With the acceptance of failure, you can learn to be more open and vulnerable in front of a group of strangers. If you do not respond positively to admitting failure, this workshop may not be for you. When you are ready to LAUGH at your failure, the work can begin. Then you can practice making an audience piss themselves by showing them how stupid and ridiculous you (and only you) can be.
With the setting for staying and living together in the nature, we hope this will give the participants the time and space to immerse themselves in clowning while challenging themselves through the process of creating original acts that can connect with the audience.
Every morning will start with physical warm up in nature. In addition to regular clown exercises, the two weeks will also be dedicated to building clown numbers - leading up to a show/presentation for the public at the end of the two weeks.
On the last day, 7th of June, we will invite the public to a site-specific show, where we will be presenting some of the material that was found during the workshop. Individually and/or with others. Ideally during this two weeks, you will have something that you can use outside of Norway Clown Camp.
