Joe Dieffenbacher, Director of Clown Conservatory in San Francisco, California sent me an email asking if I would share information about their next clown workshop.
NEW CLOWN WORKSHOP ANNOUNCED!
Clown: The Physical Comedian
Clown Workshop at Clown Conservatory
February 10 – March 16, 2014
http://circuscenter.org/clown-conservatory/
Clown Conservatory is offering a 5 week study in Clown and Physical Comedy, with a healthy mix of Slapstick, Solo & Partner Acrobatics, Improv, Circus Skills and Creating an Act. The focus is on developing professional level performance material for cabaret, theatrical clowning, street theater and circus. It draws inspiration from traditional circus clowning but explores new possibilities, combining the naivete, curiosity, and open playfulness associated with clowns, with the more provocative, challenging and confrontational work of stand up comedy, street theater and satire. This is a chance to work with Teachers and Directors with years of experience in collaborating with artists to develop their ideas into a solid act, and helping actors to learn how to truly play with an audience.
Classes run 9-4pm, Monday thru Friday, with the possibility of students having free access to Circus Center’s Unlimited classes for extra training in Circus Arts. Application, tuition fees, schedule and scholarship information will be posted online by Sep. 26th so please check out their website. If you are interested in this Intensive, send an email to Clown Conservatory Director Joe Dieffenbacher at joe@circuscenter.org.
