In life, many of us experience overwhelm. After graduating drama school, Alicia found her path to performance diverging after struggling with a block to her future. Anxiety, fear and self-doubt kept her captive from the joy in her life. 

And then an inner voice told her to ‘move’, and everything changed. 

Alicia started to explore clowning, studying at the world-renowned Ecole Jacques Lecoq in Paris and learning the link between movement and emotional openness. There, she understood clowning in its truest form: an essential path to freedom.

Clowning is an act of reclamation and liberation that anyone can try

  • A crossed-eyed expression balanced between a banana and a tulip.

    Freedom of identity

    Embracing your true self, free of societal masks

  • Some laughing eyes, a sticking out tongue and some shapes, scattered in an abstract arrangement.

    Emotional freedom

    Honest and authentic emotional expression

  • A woman in a swimming costume diving into a colourful puddle.

    Physical freedom

    Reclaiming the body from tension and fear

  • A torso in an old fashioned suit jacket, waistcoat and bow tie, with a vintage gramophone for a head.

    Mental freedom

    Quieting the inner critic and embracing spontaneity

  • A dancer balanced on one leg on a giant flower head.

    Creative freedom

    Exploring imagination without boundaries

  • An arm, an eye and a shape, balanced on each other in an abstract arrangement.

    Spiritual freedom

    Connecting deeply with your purpose

Now, Alicia uses clowning to help others break free from their inner constraints, allowing them to reconnect with their bodies and creativity. Freedom, she believes, comes from movement. Not from perfection or standing still. 

Alicia’s clowning career has taken her to the stages of prestigious events, including the Sydney Festival, Melbourne Comedy Festival, and Adelaide Fringe festival. Beyond the spotlight, she’s also affectionately known as 'Dr. Ding Dong,' spreading smiles as a medical clown doctor.

Work with Alicia to embrace life’s absurdities, live authentically and find true liberation.
