1. Discover your clown (the basics)
A clown is simply a beautiful idiot that is plugged into the audience, playing for them.
Unlock the source of your comic nature, connect to your playful spirit and uncover your most creative self via the red nose, in this 8-week intro to clowning course.
Through group games, improvisation exercises, pair work and solo work we’ll focus on the most fundamental elements of clowning - presence, truth and playfulness. We will peel open the beautifool banana that you truly are and celebrate all that is wonderful and ridiculous about you.
The classes are led in a playful and light spirit, so expect many laughs along the way. During this course, the intention is that the following topics will be covered, but not necessarily in the order given.
