Clown as physical intelligence, emotional movement, and trickster craft.
Clown isn’t something you suddenly discover—it’s something you build over time. It emerges through the body, through attention, practice, and failure. Without movement, there is no clown—but movement alone is not the point. This workshop explores clown as both physical intelligence and emotional force—your funny moves, and the way your funny moves others.
Through physical play, ensemble work, and experiments in failure, participants begin to shape a clown with its own logic, sensitivity, and point of view.
This class is not about learning tricks or being funny on demand. It is an invitation into a long-term practice rooted in curiosity, risk, and the pleasure of being seen—whether you are new to clown or returning to the work.
5 sessions with a public showing on the final session.
