Weekend Clown Intensive – Feb 7-9, 2025!

There are still spots left for this weekend clown intensive happening in Mississauga. While the cold makes the Art Shelter a little difficult to inhabit for long periods of time, I’ve decided to partner with another local Mississauga location, AN1 Studios, just over on Cawthra road near Dundas. We’ll be warm and have a consistent space that will be all ours for the weekend to discover our foolish selves.

This is a perfect opportunity for performers of all kinds but also for those who find themselves in front of others more often than they would like, or those who are required to be team leaders or those who make interpersonal connections in their day to day. Clown is perfect for those who want to become more present in their daily life and more honest with themselves.

Clown has changed the way I see the world and myself. I’m honoured to lead others through their own journey just as my teacher did before me.

So if you have the time, head over to my CLASSES page for the full details and register for this unique opportunity. I’d love to meet you and see what fool lives inside of you.

I’ll be performing a series of poems, or vignettes entitled under hill & harbour. Most of these pieces were written while I was living a transient life and deal with themes of wonder, annoyance and finding the sublime in daily life. I made this piece to be performed in an art gallery (Lisa Pijuan-Nomura’s James Street North Gallery in Hamilton) amongst sculptures and paintings and, as such, have been able to install it at many different sites as one could an artwork (including the side of the street), adapting it to fit each unique location.

Andrew Gaboury is an artist that likes to program himself into shows he “curates.” What a jerk.
