THE INVITATION: You are invited to join this in-person, weekend-long workshop facilitated by Zuma Puma (founder of Clownlife) exploring the worlds of contemporary clowning, psychomagic, ritual theatre and ceremony in London. This weekend will offer an introduction to the embodied practices of contemporary Clown and the pedagogy of Zuma Puma exploring her research in Clown and Ritual, Ceremony and Psychomagic. We will be working with Clown as a gateway into unlocking our full expression, exploring how this way of engaging with life can connect us to something beyond ourselves and furthermore offer an opportunity for deeper transformation and life experience. WHAT YOU WILL GET FROM THE COURSE: There is no limit to the profound teachings Clown explores- which is why Clownlife offers bespoke workshops tailored specifically to the needs and desires of the group and what arises in the space. + Being seen and seeing others + Expressions of the wild self + Heightening a sense of Intuition + Movement, embodiment and somatic expression + Intention and commitment + A space to share honestly with vulnerability and sensitivity + A time to laugh with yourself and see the humour in your world + Have a ridiculously fun time while diving into the depths of exploring the self. + Practice non-secular ritual and clown ceremony + Re-awaken life force energy + Conjure performance and ritual in honour of this earth and all things + Well being practices, song and community togetherness + Connection to ourselves, one another and the world beyond ITINERARY: Saturday: -Ritual well being and movement practices - Somatic expression - Song - Intro to Clown - Clowning full expression - Community conjuring and ritual closing Sunday: - Ritual & Clown Ceremonial opening - Movement & Well being practices - Co creating Psycho magic ritual theatre performance - Planting the seeds of our intention into the land - Integration, song and celebration of life - Closing ceremony * Refund policy: There are no refunds on tickets, tickets can be transferable to another participant if organised by the buyer up to 12 hours before the event.

Performers, public speakers, comedians, expressive artists, therapists, anyone who’d like to come out of their shell and take a risk to be seen, and those curious about how the art of clown can play with life on and off the stage. Our focus for the weekend will be in; Self research, connection, presence, humanity, self-expression, play, authenticity, honesty, risk taking, intuition, listening, sensitivity to the audience, flow and freedom on stage, authentic humour and much more. Whether you are curious about clown, looking to expand your performance repertoire, for more ways to come out of your shell, build confidence with an audience or are keen to work with the study of who you are- growing that bigger and characterizing it into clown- this workshop is for you. We will be exploring the notion that every person has a unique clown, in playing with the truth of who we are, the real dynamics that unfold is enough to be funny. We will work closely with sensitivity to an audience, to listening to the space and finding the freedom to play with the flop (when something doesn't work). Integrating Neuro Linguistic Programming into the work, we will be re-programming our societal limitations and patterns that hold us back from being all that we can be on and off the stage and uncover the comedy of who and how we are in the world. We will be exploring presence, expression, stupidity, following the conflict to see the humour in it, Characters, the body, the voice and more. Workshop takes place at The Bank Art House, 22 King st, Welland, ON. The Bank Art House is wheelchair accessible venue. If you have accessibility needs, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate and support. This workshop is produced by Femmes du Feu Creations. Please email [email protected] with any questions. |

The arc of the course follows the Hero's Quest and whilst it is a self reflective space there will also be a sweet dose of collaboration and sharing. As artists we can often feel alone in our creative pursuits and so this space has been designed to bring us together, to inspire, uplift, develop, share ideas, collaborate and explore our creative selves in a space where we can deepen our relationship to our personal creativity whilst feeling supported by a collective. If you are craving more creativity, community support, dedication, intention, coaching, self nourishment, self care, play, collaboration, laughter, ritual, connection, movement, painting, poetry, and a space to share your life, your words and wisdom this is the space for you.

You will be encouraged to dedicate yourself to a creative practice that is rewarding to your wellbeing and empowers your creative expression. Every week will embark on a different theme that follows the arc of the Hero's journey; to encourage new ideas, motivations, thoughts, insights and musings. Our group sessions will be an opportunity to research our creativity, to share our discoveries, collaborate, dream, inspire and get super creative together along the way. The arc of the HYCP course has been designed to meet us where we are at in our lives and many participants choose to take the course again and again as a dedication to their creative expression. ******************************* WHAT WILL THE COURSE LOOK LIKE?

One to One Coaching Sessions
Our coaching session may include; Talking council, movement and somatic release, voice/ sound, Neuro Linguistic Programming, Inner child work, Shadow work and in some cases may also involve a take home practice for you to continue to work with.
My work is informed by my experience and knowledge from years of working and training as a well being coach and facilitator of clown, ritual, movement and personal development practices. I am a Neuro Linguistic Master practitioner and occasionally draw on this knowledge within my work as a life and creativity coach to help carry lives in a healthy way and re-wire the mind for positive. My work has a forward focus, it is my intention to help you to move through whatever has been holding you back and to create healthy strategies for a future that is in line with your unique values, gifts and desires.
I draw on my experiences with shamanic, movement and clown training and apprenticeships to help individuals gain insight and clarity in navigating life in a whole hearted way. I will help you to deepen your personal enquiry as well as offering tools that can support your emotional, energetic and physical well being.
The Session: Each session lasts approximately an hour. The first session will be focused around hearing where you are at and what your needs and desires may be in your current situation. In this introduction I will ask questions to deepen my understanding of your needs and wants and help you find a practice or strategy to work with after our session to help you take the steps towards a healthy change in your life.
In some cases one session is sufficient to get to the crux and make positive change. Ideally like most coaching and therapeutic works, I would recommend at least 3 sessions to help move towards more of what you want.
Fee: My fee is £50- £75/ hour. Payments can be made by Bank Transfer or Paypal. The session will be scheduled once the payment is received. Payments for the session must be paid in full before the session takes place.
Scholarships: Reduced cost scholarships are available for individuals whom are not supported by the current paradigm. Please enquire if you are in need of a supported scholarship.
Booking Enquiries: Please Email [email protected]

Sliding Scale investment: £350- £500
Over five days, we will explore our wild and creative selves, adorning and performing, playing and discovering, crafting our own mythology.
*** Star hazing clowns cuddle in moss-lined caves, the sacred child dances and cavorts, we sing together, embody trans-personal archetypes, creating rites of passage for our own re-emerging, breaking the patterns, inviting the spiral, stepping off the wheel, into magic.***

Our days will be filled with movement warm ups, performance practice, Clownlife pedagogy and facilitated exercises to generate material for immersive shows, clown comedy and cabaret performances.
