Clowns love getting into good trouble, and sometimes they get into good, BIG TROUBLE! Sign up for Melissa G's Clown Level 2 and expand, explore and discover your clown voice and persona!
This 6-week class will support participants to tune into their inner clown by:
- 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!
"Big Trouble" is an intermediate clown class where folks continue unraveling the endless possibilities of their inner clown, leading them to solidify their own clown act to be performed at the class grad show!
PRE-REQUISITES: Good Trouble with Melissa G. or equivalent introductory clown training.
This course will include guided direction from facilitator Melissa G.
Will it be fun? YES!
Will it be vulnerable sometimes? YES! And, it will be magical.
No red noses here - it’s all heart and all PLAY.
WHEN: Tuesday, 7-9pm from January 7th-February 11th, 2025
WHERE: 3680 Rue Jeanne Mance
