Ever wanted to hold a stage on your own for a whole hour? This workshop shows you how.

Lil Wenker is a London-based American clown whose solo shows have sold out from New York to the Edinburgh Fringe. She’s coming to India for the first time, and while she’s in Mumbai she’ll lead a hands-on workshop on building your own hour of performance from scratch. That could be a poetry hour, a stand-up hour, a clown hour or something entirely your own.

What you’ll do:

Generate fresh material through guided improvisation

Learn how to structure that material into a show that works on stage

Find ways to present your work to a live audience

Push yourself well outside your comfort zone, in a supportive room

Who it’s for:

Anyone curious to try. Lil has taught complete beginners who had never been on a stage, and seasoned performers who have toured several solo shows. Wherever you are in your journey, come and explore something new.

About Lil Wenker:

Bangtail, her debut solo show, is a clown western made with director Cecily Nash. It sold out a US tour, ran at the Pleasance Courtyard at the Edinburgh Fringe, transferred to London’s Soho Theatre and earned two Leicester Comedy Festival nominations.
