‘The spectators are the first to see my performances, which is all the better because they represent the cornerstone of a sacred and beautiful architecture: the human being! The clown welcomes the most innocent and positive in people; they are seen, heard and can participate directly in the games. They become clowns when they are invited to perform; childhood, freedom and problems vanish with laughter’, Julien Cotterau.

This course is based on not judging oneself nor others. Julien Cotterau scrupulously respects the rules of the game and looks for laughter when you fail in exercises. This course offers collective and individual games to invent stories with the body and emotions in front of others, with the embryo of a character that moves and produces sounds in its own way, with its own gestures, listening and seeing things that are shared with others. Imagination, emptiness, humour and absurdity become companions of evasion to give way to magic.
