Study the fundamentals of modern clown with the artists that make the Elysian “clowning’s North American nerve center.” Use your body, hone your presence onstage, connect vividly with your audience, and create performances that are radically playful, vulnerable, strange, mischievous, gloriously dumb and beautiful.
Clown Fundamentals is a 4 week survey of classical clowning techniques taught through a modern and practical lens.
This class is for people of all performance levels and backgrounds and will explore the foundational principles of presence, rapport, and playfulness. We will work on honing your specific on stage presence and how to connect vividly with your audience.
