Ready to be a better person? Better comedian? Okay, maybe we can't promise those, but it will be a journey! Clown is an essential part of any human journey. It is the intersection of hilarity and vulnerability, frustration and laughter, awareness and senseless fun!

Step into a space where laughter leads what you do. In this dynamic workshop, you’ll reconnect with "play" and expand your comedic vocabulary through clown, physical games, and improvisation. Together, we’ll explore imagination, joy, and the unique connection between performer and audience.

This class is designed to help you unlock your creative muse and save the flop! We’ll dig deeper into our artistry, discover new sides of ourselves (and our peers), and embrace the wildest possibilities we can imagine onstage.

Open to all experience levels, this class offers a supportive and collaborative environment for anyone ready to elevate their comedic practice and rediscover what makes performing fun.
