Clowning and the Art of Play

Service Description

Unleash the potential of embracing your inner clown to explore human connection and play. In this month-long exploration, participants will delve into the art of clowning and unlock its principles through a series of lessons, games, and improvisations. This program provides actors with valuable skills in improvisation, physical comedy, and audience interaction, leading to a more memorable and engaging performance. This training goes beyond mere silliness - it's a valuable tool for performers seeking to infuse their craft with spontaneity and joy.

Wix cannot accept payment online with a Pay-What-You-Decide model. So if you would like to attend class but cannot pay the full tuition, reach out and you'll be able to pay via venmo, zelle, or cash.
