Playshop Summary:Join us for a playful, powerful Rebel Clown Playshop. We’ll train in spontaneity, complicity, and releasing the inner clown, using the smallest mask, the red nose.
Inspired by the Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army (CIRCA) and other clown traditions, we’ll train in group “gaggle” tactics, then hit the street for some NICE maneuvers, spreading joy, connection, and tactical silliness in public space.
Armed only with an open heart and a sense of humor, Rebel Clowns are peacemakers and “NICE Encouragement Officers” who aim to serve and protect while engaged in direct civic action. Rebel clowns offer an alternative to the divisiveness of today’s political civic culture. We engage in equal opportunity ridiculousness, offering serious stupidity for serious times.
This session is suitable for both experienced clowns and the clown curious.
