Workshops
I’ve been teaching for 14 years, sharing with people what helped me get through my creative blocks. For the last eight years, I’ve focused mainly on clowning because it sets me on fire. It makes me feel alive. It makes me do stupid but courageous things, like leaving my safe career in Poland and moving to London. It makes me walk the path of the fool, the most beautiful path I could ever imagine. It’s an art form that never ends. It’s so much about the moment, and it truly doesn’t matter whether you’re just starting or you’re a super pro. It makes you fall in love with constant failure that leads to success, and constant success that leads you back to failure. All of this shapes the way I see clowning and the way I teach it. And that’s what I try to share with my students.
For me, more time doesn’t mean a higher level. It just means we get to go deeper.

How I teach
Catching the clown
The more you try to find your clown, the faster it runs away. Maybe you’re not playing enough games. Clowns love games. So we’ll play. And perhaps, if we’re having enough fun, your clown will come for a visit. That, for me, is the best way to catch a clown.
This work isn’t only for clowns. It’s practical for any performer who wants to become more aware of their vulnerability, stay connected through eye contact, build sensitivity to their stage partners and audience, and learn how to really play with the people in front of them. We’ll explore how letting go of control can make you more present, more responsive and, very often, much more interesting to watch.
In the room.
“We learned how to connect with our audience and where to find the pleasure in situations.”
“He is gentle, present, rigorous and clear.”
“This is truthfully the most open and free I’ve felt in a workshop.”
“His ability to work with all different levels in the same class was incredibly impressive.”
