Classes

Reunite with old friends and make new ones in a classic Clown Gym workshop! We’ll warm up, play games, collaborate in small groups and have solo time in front of an audience. 

All experience levels are welcome. You’ll be encouraged, challenged, and have fun. Wear movement clothes, because we get sweaty.

Jump into the joyful world of clown with a cohort of other courageous women. Expand your boundaries through tools of theatrical clown and clearly define your comedic voice. What work comes out of a cohort that’s all women? Come find out in this one-day workshop which will support, celebrate and challenge you to play with freedom, ferocity, and fun.

Join Julia Proctor – Broadway clown coach, NYU Tisch professor, and Founding Director of Clown Gym – in this advanced weekend workshop designed for performers with clown training who are new to developing their own work or need support bringing material to the next level.

We’ll use tools of theatrical clown to quickly create and edit specific and surprising material. Julia’s approach will help you clearly define and execute your artistic vision, and help make you a more resilient, adaptable, playful, and brave creator.

Give yourself a dose of joy at Clown Gym! 

During this one-day intensive we’ll play with the red nose, the smallest mask in the world, to uncover your authentic self and share more of the messy, joyful, courageous and funny parts of your artistry with an audience. 

Through a series of games and group and solo exercises, we aim to give joy and pleasure more value in your work, match the scale of your physical, emotional and imaginative impulses to intention, play with less stress and self-criticism, befriend the audience, and surprise yourself as a performer.
