Tepani’s Heartwork Clown Workshops
Stephanie Bell, known as the Clown Mother of DFW, offers clown workshops in Dallas–Fort Worth rooted in Tepani’s Heartwork—a methodology that centers emotional honesty, embodied play, and authentic human connection.
These are not traditional clown classes focused on tricks or performance perfection. Instead, these workshops invite you to slow down, listen, and respond to what is actually happening in the moment. Through guided exercises, solo work, and ensemble exploration, participants learn how to trust themselves, take creative risks, and build meaningful relationships with an audience.
Stephanie’s teaching is known for being both deeply supportive and highly specific. She creates a structured, trauma-informed environment where participants feel safe to explore vulnerability, experiment with play, and develop their unique voice as a performer.
Workshops are available for individuals, artists, healthcare professionals, educators, community groups, and businesses. Each offering is customizable, adaptable to your space, and available for travel.
In addition to creative and performance-based exploration, these workshops are also powerful tools for organizations seeking team building, leadership development, emotional resilience, and presence under pressure. Participants strengthen their ability to adapt in real time, communicate more authentically, and stay grounded in high-stress or unpredictable situations.
Whether you are brand new to clown or an experienced performer—or a team looking to build connection, flexibility, and trust—these workshops offer a space to step out of “getting it right” and into something real.
