Improv, Sketch, Clowning, Standup Classes
Level 1 Clown: Finding Your Clown
Instructors: Alice Gillette & Madly Rosett
Prerequisite: None
Study modern clown fundamentals with the artists making Denver “an incubator for new work” in alt-comedy. Through playful exercises inspired by Lecoq, Lucille Ball, Eric Andre, Nathan Fielder and others, you’ll discover your inner clown and tap into the parts of you onstage that are honest, ridiculous and deeply human. This is a space where we take risks, bomb joyfully and find brilliance in the mess. No experience required: learn stage presence, build a shared clown vocabulary and craft an absurdly meaningful bit.
