Research shows that clowns can induce hearty laughter and be a key part of laughter therapy to reduce anxiety and stress. The Young Friends of the Academy's first-ever on-campus workshop Meet the Clown in You was specially arranged for Young Friends members to relieve stress caused by the pandemic and learn more about modern clown theatre while having fun.
The workshop was successfully held on 23 Aug (Tue) at the Academy's Drama Blackbox in collaboration with a theatre troupe founded by our alumni, Free-To-Play. The participants were very committed during the theatre exercises and gave inspired performances donning the red nose!
Young Friends of the Academy membership and programmes are entirely free for secondary school students.
