LEARNING
At
our on line learning center we work with you to develop the essential
element of every clown – CHARACTER. Our guiding principle
is that articulated by the actor Meryl Streep when she observes that
as an actor she is privileged to create a character and give her life.
Students enroll and are given a character outline to develop for the
character they intend to play or are playing. Then in online and telephone
coaching sessions with our faculty students are assisted to create
a distinctive and vibrant clown character. The class is for working
clowns.
As a result of participating in this class students:
- Learn how to design and apply or refine their clown make-up
- Create a unique clown persona.
- Work exercises that enable them to discover how their clown thinks, moves and acts.
- Develop and incorporate into your clown character a distinctive clown walk.
