This 3 hour masterclass explores the physics of play—the nuts and bolts of physical presence, attention, and playfulness - and how to use it to create aliveness in a room. Rooted in the principles of clown and physical comedy, you'll learn the foundational mechanics of comedy: physical authenticity, beginning comedic timing, structures for stage-play, and how the clown's relational awareness—connecting to scene partner, audience, space, and self—generates authentic comedy and compelling performance.

Clowning teaches many great skills.  Improv teaches many great skills.  Both have a lot of overlap.  This 4-week course takes a deep dive into the skills taught by improvisation that aren’t typically covered in clown courses.  

This class will focus on the rigorous art of storytelling through mime. Using techniques from Lecoq, Decroux, Donlon, and more, students will craft a balance of tension and relaxation while growing a physical, mimetic vocabulary that captivates an audience with a magnetic presence.

This 10-week intermediate course deepens the performer’s understanding of Clown through the language of the body. Students will refine their sense of timing, physicality, and spatial awareness, exploring how physical design and movement create comic rhythm and dramatic tension. We will construct bits, play with objects, and investigate the visual structure of comedy. Through physical improvisation and rehearsal, students will build skills in comedic form, movement precision, and ensemble play.
