The World needs More Clowns
Barnaby KingMondays 7-10pm
For information call 646 673 3014 or email Barnaby King
Four workshops teach clown through connection, through discovering what you want to communicate and how to communicate it. Learning to clown does not take you down any specific path (any fixed idea of what a clown ‘is’) but rather supports you in discovering more about who you are and then learning to connect with vulnerability and strength with your audience. Learning to clown is about testing your own limits and going beyond them.
