Ever admire the pure state of being that is natural for little kids? Ever wish you could remove the social layers that keep you from basking in the same authenticity and connection? Such is the way of the clown, who lives a life of honest expression. In this introductory course on clowning, you will learn about clown mind, the gifts of presence, remaining in the body, and being seen. In many ways, this is a playshop. For some—the beginning of a long journey.
