5-WEEK CLOWN COURSE

Sundays from 2:00-4:00 pm @ 150 Fritz Mar Ln Athens, GA

This 5-week clown course is for performers who wish to improve their sensitivity, humanity, stupidity, and creativity on stage. It will challenge you to step into the unknown to see what new beauty or hilarity you can discover onstage. 

Designed for amateurs and professionals alike, the class begins with theatrical games (formally known as “Le Jeu”) through which we will explore failure, pleasure, and play. After building this foundation, we will focus on flop-saving, number-building, costumes, and show creation.  

For those who’ve already taken clowning, this course will give you more in-depth training around flop-savers and clown numbers.  For beginners, we will introduce you to the fundamentals and push you to discover new skills while you’re watching and collaborating with advanced students.

Disclaimer: This workshop does not include face makeup and will challenge conventional expectations of clowning.
