A world in which everything works the way we want it to. We take time to consciously and deeply examine our desires, longings and vulnerabilities. Without condemning them. From within, we move toward inspiration and creativity. Which we learn to put down on stage. Clowning is work: turning humor and vulnerability into a theatrical force. Why do we laugh? Clowning is relief. The challenge: playing who you are, not who you would like to be.         <\/p>\n<p>And then, of course, there is the audience. We learn to listen and connect. Giving attention to get attention. What if they don&#8217;t smile? What if we hit our limits? What if we fail? Can we deal with that too? And how does the audience respond then?       <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>  \n                <div class=\"b-a-txt b-a-last\">\n            <div>\n                <h3>Week 1: The Entry of the Red Nose<\/h3>\n<p>We will start with awareness and finish with disarmament. We will be working on fundamental principles that we will build on for the rest of the month. And we will examine the difference between what is adapted to social norms and what is poetic.  <\/p>\n<h3>Week 2: Freedom for Imagination<\/h3>\n<p>We enter our own universe and give our childishness the space it needs. Everything works the way we want it to.  Everything is possible!<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font_6\">Week 3: Exploring and Experimenting<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font_8\">In the previous week we have opened the gates of our universe. This week, we will start exploring. We will examine our ideas and take our place on the stage.  <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font_6\">Week 4: Time to Create<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font_8\">We will be looking for a balance between spontaneity and technique. How do we transform our ideas? How do we maneuver from fantasy to humor that strikes a chord?  <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>  \n               \n           \n        \t<\/article>\n\n    \t<aside class=\"bg-white\">\n        \t\t    <h2>Practical information<\/h2>\n<h4>For whom?<\/h4>\n<p class=\"font_8\">For beginners and professionals (maximum 18 participants), ages 18 and up.<\/p>\n<h4>Where?<\/h4>\n<p class=\"font_8\">Zaal Zirkus, Zirkstraat 36 in Antwerp.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"font_8\">When?<\/h4>\n<p class=\"font_8\">From July 6 to July 31, 2026 (5 days\/week, 3 teaching blocks of 2 hours\/day).<\/p>\n<h4>Main language<\/h4>\n<p class=\"font_8\">We want to reach an international audience with this course, which is why it will be taught in English. <\/p>\n<h4>Admission fee?<\/h4>\n<p>Participation in this intensive summer course costs \u20ac915 (meals and accommodation are not included).<\/p>\n<h4>Accommodation?<\/h4>\n<p>Looking for an affordable place to sleep in Antwerp?
