Creation residency in clowning arts with artist Johan Lescop by Le Samovar (FRA)

The Samovar School is hosting a five-week creation residency in clowning arts, led by the artist Johan Lescop, from 19 October to 6 December 2026.

Are you a circus artist interested in clowning, whether you’re new to the profession or have been working in it for years? Would you like to start creating a short piece or develop a draft version of a future show? Then this programme is for you!

Its aim is to support you in your writing and devising process, starting from your own material. You will be guided by Johan Lescop — artist-educator, director and dramaturg — who specialises in clowning, physical theatre and devising for the stage. For more than 25 years, he has been supporting artists in the development of their unique artistic language.
