An invaluable book for actors, improvisers, comedians, directors, and teachers looking to explore the principles of clowning

This dip-in, flick-through, quick-fire resource book, part of the bestselling Drama Games series, offers 80 games and exercises to explore the fundamental concepts of clowning and physical comedy, encourage playfulness, curiosity, and collaboration, and help develop performance material.

These active and engaging games focus on a wide range of core skills, including:


  • Building and strengthening connections through collaboration and ensemble work.

  • Developing physical and mental flexibility.

  • Using restrictions, problems, and accidents to devise routines and scenes.

  • Using props to reveal thoughts and emotions and deepen relationships.

Throughout, the focus is on how to develop a playful mind and body, listen to and observe the world around you, and improve your ability to express yourself physically.
