A powerful training tool for actors, clown helps connect you to the more spontaneous and generous impulses of your work. It’s funny. And not funny. But that’s funny, too. Guided exercises explore the spirit of the red nose (the smallest mask in the world) through games, songs, improvisation, and development opportunities. No experience necessary, feedback will be tailored to the individual.
All are welcome when you bring your sense of curiosity and play!
Clown Gym was founded by Julia Proctor in 2014 while apprenticing master clown teacher Chris Bayes. Students kept saying “I love this work, it’s changed my life!” and then would ask, “how do I keep going?” Clown Gym was born.
