SPECIAL GUEST TEACHER EDITION
Special guest teacher: Pamela Pilawa
Physical comedy + slapstick for clowns.

Saturday 4 July
10am-1pm

Yes, she’s as stupid as she looks.

And thank god for that.

Pamela Pilawa is joining us as a special guest teacher for a very silly, very physical, very useful session on physical comedy and slapstick applied to clowning.

Because falling over is easy.
Falling over with precision, rhythm and joy? That’s craft.

Pamela brings the kind of stupidity you can trust.

Come play. Come fall. Come miss the catch.

MID-YEAR FOOL PASS 2026

Half the year is gone.

Six Playgrounds remain.

From July to December, a bunch of curious humans will gather once a month to play, experiment, create, laugh, move, fail gloriously, and occasionally discover something useful by accident.

Some come for creativity.
Some come for community.
Some come to reconnect with the part of themselves that doesn’t fit neatly into everyday life.

You don’t need clowning experience.

But you should have some experience putting yourself out there.

A stage.
A classroom.
A rehearsal room.
A dance floor.
A microphone.
A workshop.
A boardroom.

This Playground is for humans who already have a relationship with creative risk and want a place to keep exploring it.

Whether you’re a performer, teacher, facilitator, musician, comedian, dancer, director, maker, or artistic oddball, you’ll find good company here.

We play.

We try things.

We support each other.

We laugh far more than is strictly necessary.

A strange thing happens in clown.
People stop performing their confidence and start performing their humanity.
And somehow that becomes funnier, weirder, and more beautiful than anything polished ever could.

Tiny red nose.
Massive human experience.

Missing this crew of ding dongs 😢

Some people leave clown workshops with better posture. Some leave with grass stains on their dignity.

“Fantastic experience, opened up a whole new world for me. Had a blast and will certainly be returning.”
Thanks Lachlan for diving headfirst into the beautiful stupidity of it all.

Feeling thirsty for play?
For silliness?
For a whole new world you didn’t realise was hiding under your sensible adult face?

Is that you nodding yes?
🙌

Fantashtik!
