8-WEEK CLOWN COURSE

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

January 12th - February 23rd

This 8-week clown course is for performers who want to improve their sensitivity, humanity, stupidity, and creativity on stage. It will challenge you to step into the unknown and see what new beauty or hilarity you can discover onstage.

Designed for both amateurs and professionals, 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 provide more in-depth training in flop-savers and clown numbers. For beginners, we will introduce the fundamentals and push you to discover new skills while learning from and collaborating with advanced students.

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