Church of Clown

10 weeks of Clown

LXCL:Get that worm! By August 17th specifically!

Early Bird Clown

In this 10-week introduction to Clown, students explore the essential elements of performing for a live audience. Through games, improvisation, and solo and group exercises, participants cultivate presence, connection, and delight. We will investigate the Clown&rsquo;s capacity for discovery, vulnerability, and generosity &mdash; learning to meet the audience with authenticity and play. Students will develop a unique clown persona through guided exploration of impulse, rhythm, and emotional truth, uncovering what is most alive and joyful in their performance.
