Course summary

Led by Barabbas Theatre Company founder Raymond Keane, this immersive week-long course guides participants in uncovering their "individual clown state." Using the Mask of Four Temperaments and the Red Nose , students will explore human rhythm and flexibility to achieve authentic presence on stage. The workshop focuses on expanding emotional range—embracing everything from brilliance and joy to vulnerability and failure—to develop a truthful, unfiltered performance style. This is a unique opportunity to learn from a master teacher with over 40 years of industry experience.
