Based on the pioneering work of Richard Pochinko, the workshop synthesises Indigenous and European clowning traditions to guide you in the discovery of your clown. Participants are taken on a journey exploring colour, innocence and experience. There is a cycle of six masks representing the six directions of the self. During this two-week course, we will do preparation work and make and wear two masks, as part of the cycle.

Sue Morrison’s career has taken her from being a performer in clown, puppetry, and improv to teaching, co-writing and directing focussed specifically in the philosophy of Clown through Mask. Sue has taught, created and presented shows across the world. Her intensive workshops allow for the emotional excavation necessary to evolve stellar performances, as exemplified by her many students in shows individually created for the performer as well as in global powerhouses such as Cirque du Soleil.
Her work is the focus of several documentaries and most recently, Sue and co-author Veronica Coburn have written a book on the work titled “Clown through Mask: The Pioneering Work of Richard Pochinko as Taught by Sue Morrison”, published by Intellect Press of the UK.
