How does clowning relate to life offstage, from corporate consulting to interpersonal relationships? Veteran clown, actor, writer, and consultant Jeff Raz will provide a unique, hands-on experience of how you can apply performance techniques and concepts in ‘real-life’ contexts. Drawing on over 40 years of performing in the Pickle Family Circus, on Broadway and with Cirque du Soleil, and teaching at Dell’Arte and The Clown Conservatory, as well as his work as a global consultant, Jeff has built up tried-and-tested methods for crossing the bridge between the artistic, creative principles of clowning and theatre, and worlds of corporate training, personal development, and community-building. 

 Working in small groups through role-play, experimentation and with individual coaching from Jeff, you will feel empowered to use clowning tools at work and at home to turn mistakes into gold, deepen relationships, communicate with a wide range of people live and on Zoom, etc.

Participants in this session will also receive a free copy of Jeff’s book, The Secret Life of Clowns: A Backstage Tour of Cirque du Soleil and The Clown Conservatory, which Jeff will refer to and use as part of the training. You will also go home with the skills to apply clown tools to multiple spheres, including communication, conflict resolution, team building and leadership. This is an exclusive and rare opportunity to spend time with a powerful teacher, innovator, and pioneer in the clown field, and is definitely not to be missed.
