Don't be fooled by the name. This isn't a class about painting your face white and wearing a red nose. It is a wonderful way for students to build and exercise the skills necessary to deliver honest performances. In clowning, we rediscover that same child-like sense of playfulness which allows us to open the door to our imagination, listening and being receptive is central to this approach. Students must stay close to their physical body, feelings and senses. Those who have experiences our work know what it is to have "a moment on stage," to be fully present with the other members of the company and live in the moment of what is happening on stage. Not coming on stage with an idea, plan or preconceived scenario, but listening and being receptive to what is being created there at that time.
