Unlock the Art of YOUR Fool: Clown Class for the Theatrically Curious
w/ Fora Bare
Saturday, June 7th, from 12:30 – 2:30 PM
$40 | Adults Only (18+)
Come try on the smallest mask in the world—the Red Nose! This clown class invites actors, performers, and adventurous souls to explore the profound, poetic, and hilarious world of clowning. Through physical theatre and the power of presence, you’ll discover your inner clown persona and learn how curiosity and play give rise to genuine human connection and performance. Equal parts ridiculous and revelatory, this is not just comedy—it’s seeing the world through a new lens: the clown’s eye view!
