What if I'm shy?
Perfect. Many people are.
Clown isn't about becoming louder. It's about becoming more present.
What if I've never acted?
Wonderful. Most people begin exactly there.
Will I have to perform?
No. You'll be invited into exercises and playful explorations throughout the day.
There is no prepared performance.
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothes you can move in.
Your next step
The Fool’s First Step is the beginning.
If you feel the pull to continue, Finding Your Fool is the next doorway.
Finding Your Fool is a two-day intensive where we deepen the work, explore your unique comic body, and begin shaping the first traces of your clown.
But first, we start here.
One day.
One step.
One wobble at a time.
