5 Things That Happen in Every Playface Workshop

Curious about our workshops? Maybe you’ve seen the photos of people pulling strange poses or jumping around in silly costumes. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a closet clown, here are five things you can always expect at a Playface workshop:

1. Warm ups to get you in the mood

Workshops begin with a big group warm ups. Everyone's trickled into a strange room of strangers ready to do something a bit different. It's important to set the right environment so we can feel playful, safe and ready to have a good time. We kick things off with a game - something fun, silly and usually a little ridiculous. It might involve names and dance moves, a bit of shouting or pretending to be a goose. These warm-ups help us shake off the day, loosen our limbs and our brains and get comfy with each other.

2. Everyone supports each other

We embrace mistakes, we embrace the flop (a clown term). If you do it wrong, fluff your words, forget the rules or say something completely bizarre - we celebrate with a big YAY! We create a space where there’s no wrong way to be. You’ll be cheered on for trying, not judged for “getting it right.” The only rule? Be kind.

3. You’ll actually learn new skills (but probably won’t realise it at the time)

Our games and exercises are fun and sneaky. They're secretly (and sometimes not to secretly) teaching you stuff: like how to listen, how to build stories together, how to be in the moment and trust your gut.

4. There will be laughter – lots of it

There's laughter. Because what fun is a workshop without it? We are teaching play and comedy after all! Whether it’s a mini moment in a game, an improv scene that you just get or an in-joke the class creates... you’ll laugh. A lot. And not because you have to, but because play opens up that kind of belly-deep joy that’s hard to find in adult life. It’s like a mini holiday from your overthinking brain.

5. At the heart of it all? Play. Always.

Play is our superpower. It’s how we connect, learn, grow and let go. Play isn’t just for kids - it’s a radical, joyful way to explore the world. Our workshops are designed to help you tap into that playful mindset, whether you’re 18 or 80, shy or loud, serious or silly.

So if you're wondering what you’ll actually do in a Playface workshop, now you know. It's all about showing up, saying “yes” to the moment and having a fun time doing it.

Okay, whose coming out to play?!
