We’ll explore presence, play, vulnerability, and the joyful chaos of not knowing. This series is open to both newcomers and seasoned performers - everyone meets the training where they are. Classes are typically a great mix of experience levels, which keeps the work fresh and surprising.
This work encourages us to show up- to explore an open channel between ourselves and others. Clown teaches us to play, not to push too much or shy away but to bring our full selves to the moment - to find our open, sensitive, vulnerable, human and ridiculous quality.
"With this work people have to find a way of being beautiful and surprising...and by beautiful I mean being in the grip of pleasure or freedom.” -Philippe Gaulier
