WHAT IS CLOWN?!

"You made failure feel inevitable and fun/funny, and I found that very freeing. I truly did not know I could be so unhinged on stage and it was transformative to meet that part of me. Thank you for creating a safe space where that could happen!" -PW

There are infinite ways to be funny and if you're reading this, you may know a few ways you have been funny in the past. Or perhaps you think you are not funny at all. 

The practice of clowning asks the performer to forget some of what they know intellectually and to remember the innate pleasure of being on stage and of discovering how they are funny with an audience. 

IN MY WORKSHOP, we WILL play games to get out of our heads and to remember the physical pleasure of play. We will focus on vocal and physical impulse, complicité or playing with other people, and of using the flop as a beautiful tool for discovery. 

This work is a reminder of the joy of presence and of being alive. It is a fantastic opportunity to embrace the unknown and see how you can surprise yourself.

TESTIMONIALS:

“I absolutely loved the class. Your warm ups and games were exactly what I needed: feeling uncomfortable safely, being unafraid of mistakes and even celebrating errors, and starting to feel more free and connected in my body. I left feeling genuinely happy, energized, and like I learned and accomplished a great deal in a short amount of time. Thank you for creating such a thoughtful, playful, and supportive space and for bringing me joy. I haven't laughed like that in what feels like ages.” -Carlos V.

"Your clowning workshop was exactly what I was looking for. Your instruction and guidance was so helpful in developing stage behavior that I felt was successful. I have so much more hope for future performances!" -Max
