Cultivating Your Inner Clown (Sundays 4/16-5/7 at 3pm)

What fuels your comedic fire? This four-week masterclass breaks down the internal state of clown to help you find what makes you inherently funny.  Become more open, present, and vulnerable. Develop your stage presence and natural charisma.  We will dare you to face danger head-on, challenge your assumptions about comedy and performance (and your place in it), and help you get out of your head and into your body so that you can command the stage and play the audience.
