The workshop aims to learn how to better make friends with our lack of being perfect, the part of us that is completely unfunny and funny, and learn to play with this imperfection, to use failure as a beautiful gift from the world.

This workshop helps you connect with this creativity and discover the pleasure of being yourself, when everyone is looking at you… Sounds scary? Only a bit, but mostly it is pure fun.The course is intended to familiarise you with being yourself on stage, taking more risks both on stage and in life. A bit like learning to fall – when you know how to fall – you risk more, make different moves, and increase the range of your possibilities.

It’s the same with the Being Bad course – through seemingly embarrassing practice situations, you learn exceptional stage and life sensitivity. You will learn that the most interesting things are when you don’t know.

WHAT WILL WE ACTUALLY DO?

We will work on how to use our real emotions to enrich our stage skills, how to play with them on stage, maintain eye contact with the audience and how to be sensitive to the energy of our show, and how to discover comedy using the body. We will explore this using various games and activities, and although they are demanding, they are fun. The exercises are a series of ridiculous situations in which you will potentially experience multiple failures. The participant’s task is to play with 100% of their ability to be funny and beautiful. This leads to many failures and situations in which you are not funny at all – and this is where we will discover our creativity. It is important for me to create a very safe and supportive atmosphere in which you can easily open up about all these seemingly very difficult topics.

WHO IS THIS FOR?
As a rule, the course is for people who work with creativity and human emotions on a daily basis – improvisers, actors, circus performers, singers, directors, magicians, writers, therapists, musicians. In practice – for everyone who is looking for authenticity, freedom to be yourself, no matter what, and is curious about the world.

“Piotr is an incredibly sensitive teacher – I felt safe to take risks and to find my own courage on my own terms. I left the workshop with a sense that a layer of fear had dissolved, and that I had reconnected with my intuition about what play means to me.”

“Piotr takes care of his participants the way he takes care of his audience – with great sensitivity and respect. He is the first clown teacher I’ve worked with who is genuinely curious about how you show up in the space, and uses that curiosity to improve your experience. I felt truly supported, safe, and at the same time bravely pushed forward! It was the fullest and freest workshop experience I’ve ever had – all thanks to Piotr’s care and his contagious love for the art of clowning.”
