Description

The art of clowning teaches us to cultivate full presence and authentic connection with others. This class draws on exercises and methodologies from renowned practitioners, including Jacques Lecoq, Jean Taylor, Merry Conway, Nader Farman, and Keith Johnstone. The curriculum is designed to move participants beyond self-consciousness and ego, fostering awareness of our shared humanity. As Nader Farman notes, "It's you, of course, the clown. And that's important."

Throughout the course, students will discover the universal language of clowning and its power to connect audiences across differences. The class creates a joyful and supportive environment where you can explore this art form with curiosity and playfulness. The course culminates in a class performance where students share what they have learned and created.

Please Note: Classes may end up to 30 minutes earlier than the scheduled time, depending on the total number of students enrolled.

Refund Policy

Class payments are non-refundable.

In the event you have to drop a class before it begins and give us at least 8 business days notice, we can credit your tuition toward a future class.

In the event a class fails to meet a minimum number of sign-ups (6 enrollments), students will be notified by email and given the option to transfer into another class, keep a class credit on the books, or offered a full refund - whichever is preferable to the student.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
