- Exploring the clown's point of view (POV) authentic to each participant
- Expand on breaking the fourth wall, engaging the audience to inform the clown's persona and performance
- Develop their own clown character, identity and story (solo, duo or in group)
- Expand on world-building, imaginative possibilities, reframing "flops" as clown gifts and joyful play!
