As the Executive Director and a Therapeutic Clown Practitioner with Red Nose Remedy, I’m leading two weekend Clown 1 – Presence & Play intensives this Winter and Spring.
These intro level clown weekends are open to all. It’s a perfect place to get back into the studio and experience red nose clown training at a fundamental level.
The Winter/Spring Clown Intensive is 2 days of presence work and le jeu. Before we put on the clown nose we start with ourselves, more specifically, ourselves in front of others. Together, we’ll uncover those wonderful things that make you you and entice people to love you. Exploring through presence and play, and taking ‘turns’ on stage we will start to see the beginnings of your clown persona. By the end of this intensive, students will walk away with an understanding of the tenets of the clown and the soft skills used in clown performance.
This intensive is open for those new to the practice, those who are currently practicing and also for those who want to jump back into the fundamentals of theatrical red nose clown.

There’s a certain kind of humanity that comes with clown training. It’s hard not to fall in love with everyone who puts themselves out there with such a level of joy and humility. It’s hard not to feel connected with one another when we play games to the best of our ability, when we revel in the win and equally in the loss. It’s not hard to celebrate those flops when they happen (and oh boy do they happen). Clown training makes better actors, but it is also my belief that it makes people better people. I hope to see you in the studio! – AG
