Very thought-provoking, excellent breakout fun.

Excellent masterclass

It has only been three months since I joined The Clown Village (former Clown4Life), and oh how lucky I feel! Not only do I get to learn from some the world’s best clowns every single month, I also am completely immersed in the rare community of charming rebels and courageous weirdos. I feel seen, heard and supported on my path towards discovering my clown, my passion and my true self. I feel so incredibly uplifted and inspired and always look forward to our meetings which happen 2 or even 3 times every single week! If you have been considering signing up, but still have doubts, I can say with full confidence that you will not regret it! Looking forward to meeting you in the clown village! Xoxo

As a former Cirque du Soleil clown and the director of The Clown Conservatory, I didn't know how much new I would learn about clowning. I was very pleasantly surprised. The materials go so deep and wide, and the course is so well constructed, that I learned volumes about clown traditions and techniques that I had never encountered or thought I knew. Barnaby's relaxed and personable teaching style is the perfect compliment to his sharp intellect and avid curiosity. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in clowning, from beginners to old pros.

Clown Spirit is just what I have been looking for to help me develop along my clown journey. The Clown Connection is structured so well. It is presented in an accessible way with a video to watch before the lesson, then a wonderful cocktail of clown theory, exercises, connection and play. The community is so supportive and Barnaby makes the experience so accessible and inclusive and fun. I am sad that this course is ending this week but it has given me so much to explore and the video resources and articles are there for me to peruse long after the course finishes.

The Clown Connection course has exceeded my expectations. Barnaby offers excellent resources, creates an atmosphere where it's safe to risk, is prompt, responsive, and organized. His experience as a performer, academic and teacher shine through. The course taught me the basics of clowning and then some. It's a superb course. I hope you'll find it as inspiring as I have.

Clown spirit has been a joy these past weeks to be a part of! Barnaby is extremely knowledgeable, and holds space extremely well, and I feel very cared for in this place. On top of that, the constant inspiration keeps me constantly searching and researching, which is invaluable. I'm definitely considering joining the Clown4life to get more out of this =)

Barnaby's "Clown hacks" are full of heart and soul. He shows examples of great clowning over the decades to illustrate five maxims (in five days) that guide not only clowning but living a joyful life in general--whether one chooses to clown publicly or not. Highly recommend his approach for experienced and inexperienced clowns alike.
