Laugh in failure’s face
Connect with your audience
Experience the power of the ensemble

And much more!

This is a rare chance to train in Edmonton with Shannan Calcutt, one of the world’s leading instructors of clown and play. Her workshops have inspired artists from all walks of life to live in the moment, play from the heart, risk being vulnerable, overcome obstacles, and be the kind of collaborator that lifts up everyone in the room. Shannan teaches regularly at Cirque du Soleil, Celebration Barn Theatre and The Clown School. Her popular residency, Make a Show with Shannan, has helped over two dozen artists create new shows that have toured throughout North America.
