Develop your comedic genius!
A day-long workshop of creating laughter and joy.
Come and learn about clown comedy in a class led by Andrew Cory.
Your clown comedy class will cover physical comedy, clown ‘rules,’ creating ‘contracts’ and ‘games’ with the audience, and freeing the body of ‘mental tension.’
You’ll reconnect with your ‘child’s eye’ and learn skills to have the audience in the palm of your hand.
Class begins at 9.30 AM and ends at 4.30 PM.
