It's time to risk being seen in all your glory! Discover the freedom and joy that comes when you embrace your clown and celebrate your ridiculousness.

In this two-day workshop, you will:

Take big risks

Flaunt your flaws

Follow your impulses

Laugh in failure’s face

Connect with your audience

Experience the power of the ensemble

And much more!

This is a rare chance to train in Somerville with Shannan Calcutt, a world-renowned artist and teacher. Her workshops have inspired artists from all walks of life to live in the moment, play from the heart, risk being vulnerable, overcome obstacles, and be the kind of collaborator that lifts up everyone in the room. Over the past six years, she has led a number of workshops at Celebration Barn, including Celebrate Your Ridiculousness and Make a Show with Shannan. The latter has helped over two dozen artists create new shows that have toured throughout North America. Learn more about Calcutt and her remarkable work below.

"Shannan made everyone feel as though they could do anything they wanted and always come out ahead by creating an amazingly supportive attitude where we all had each other’s back and the egos were in check. Failure became success, we laughed a lot, and everyone was able to bring their best work to class."

– Hilary Chaplain, performer and teacher
