I have never attended an introductory clown class before, can I attend a Level 2?
It is recommended that all students attend an introductory clowning class because we will be building on the basics we have learnt in level 1. If you have done clown training before, this workshop would be a good refresher or place to jam and build that clown muscle in you.
______________________________________________________________________
Do I need a red nose?
Red noses will be provided.
Do I have to be funny?
No. The workshop helps us all discover our clowns. Clowns come in various shapes and sizes, talents, and abilities. Sometimes we laugh at clowns who cry or clowns who are too serious, being funny is not at all required.
Do I have to bring anything to the classes?
As our activities and games involve movement, we’d advise wearing athletic gear and water to hydrate.
(Note: Skirts/dresses might impede some movements)
For this workshop, all students will be asked to bring a piece of costume that brings them pleasure.
