Want to be showcased in a future Flex?
Who should apply: experienced performers with a funny/beautiful/creative/stupid/superintelligent clown act, who have attended or taught at least one Clown Gym workshop. It should be well-rehearsed and something you’re very excited to share.
Vibe of our show: funny, creative, messy, innovative, moving, full of love. Clown! Whatever that means to you. Note: please do not make a literal mess in your act.
A note on how we curate:
The producers review all submissions and decide together as a group. We aim to create a balanced and varied evening of six acts. This includes:
- a combo of solo, duo and group acts
- a range of approaches from clown including red nose, physical comedy that does not rely on words, to more talking/verbal comedy and things in between
- we accept one or two other forms like bouffon or commedia, but try to keep most acts in the world of clown
- a balanced range of new work to a work in progress to an excerpt of a longer produced show.
We only feature a performer once a season. If you’re looking for another place to perform or test out a new act, check out our monthly Clown Party for new work development!
