What people say about the Bill's Idiots Course
‘Bill’s Idiots’ gives Shakespeare a whole new cultural relevance. – Mike Took, Screenwriter
I came into this course quite scared of clown and ‘letting go’. Peta made it so much fun and I experienced a real change in my confidence, physical freedom and openness. – Caroline Ward, Acting Teacher
Approaching Shakespeare through clown work has really increased my confidence with Bill’s famous, wonderful text. In clown state, I feel I can do anything. This workshop helped me open doors to new worlds, new possibilities. I love that I have found safety in clown, in order to dive in to character. I do feel I learnt a lot, consolidated some things, felt stronger in myself as a clown definitely. Discovered a way to explore Shakespeare’s text in an uninhibited, uncensored, playful way. Thank you for giving us this safe space to do that and more. – Juliet Dante King
Blends the brilliance of clowning in its freedom, chaos and imagination, into the genius of Shakespeare. Finding physicality and vocal freedom in such fundamental characters. SO useful for all character work. – Clovis PJ, Actor
My confidence with clown over these two days has been given an enormous boost. Also found wonderful new things in Bill’s work I’d never seen before. Do it – you won’t regret it. – Priti Colbeck
Love it, love it love it. – AW
I love Peta’s courses! Enjoyed refreshing clown skills and tying in with the delight of Shakespeare. Peta created a safe, inclusive and creative environment to free up the playful and the vulnerable in us. – Caroline Vella, Actor
This course unlocked things I didn’t know I had within me. It not only helped me overcome my fear of clowning but also gave me new insights and techniques for interpreting Shakespeare. – Sarah Macdonald, Course Participant
If you want to pursue the clown in all aspects of the craft of clown and the infinite possibilities the clown ca n embrace, Peta is for you. I discovered many possibilities through her way of teaching. A very uplifting, fun, emboldening experience. Occasional times when I felt at a loose end, she sensitively handled my confusion. We all supported each other in this work. – Course Participant
The course really opened up completely new avenues into accessing Shakespeare for me. Brilliant. Found freedom of play within the text. I’ll definitely use what I’ve learnt from clowning. – Caroline Partridge
Thank you Peta for two absolutely brilliant days - It has been such an enjoyable experience combing the Bard with the Clown - I’m still feeling the energy of the workshop two days later. – Course Participant
