Embrace your fool with a group of supportive performers

Upcoming classes

Through exploring original games and exercises, this experimental class looks at building on the essentials of Gaulier clowning to continue an organic exploration of one’s ‘clown’.

At Brighton Clown School, we are on a mission to make physical comedy and theatre training as accessible as possible. Class prices vary, depending on the class and teacher, but are among the most affordable out there.

Our workshops usually take place at Hanover Community Centre. Classes have been previously held at venues across central Brighton, including The Studio, Whippingham Road; the Loft at Little Dippers; and The Net Loft at Brighton Fishing Museum.
