This 4-week class, taught by our own Tara Demmy, is an introduction to Red Nose Clown as well as a guide on how to use clown state in improv, sketch, and theatre. Clowns are completely vulnerable and they share every feeling with their audience. The clown’s humor comes out of their honest play, naivety, and commitment to their own stupidity. Using the red nose and your body, you will discover your inner clown’s rhythm, physicality, voice, and hilarious talents. We will then take these clowns off the circus stage and into real life situations (the office, the DMV, a first date) to discover new ways of using this theatrical form. Red nose provided.
