Rise Comedy Clown Drop-In
Where: Rise Comedy Theater | Denver, CO
When: Every Third Sunday at 6pm
Clown Drop-in is for all skill levels. Newcomers welcome! This drop-in provides a safe space to practice clowning and train in the art of ridiculousness. Skills learned are valuable for anyone looking to enhance their performance capabilities. This is not a typical red-nose clown workshop. The heart & soul of the work is rooted in vulnerability, authenticity, and connection – equally with your scene partners and the audience. You’ll learn how to find the comedy of the human experience from a place deeper within yourself.
This workshop will be led by local Denver clown performers, Alissa, Julianna, Anatasha, or Jacob. Each rotating instructor will bring their own facilitating style. Attendees can expect to explore movement/physicality, be in the moment, and participate in games and exercises that will help you learn that the funniest thing about you--is YOU!
Intro to Clowning | 4 week course
Where: Chaos Bloom Theater | Denver, CO
When: January 7th-28th 2024 Sundays 5:30-7:30p with a performance on the Thursday after your last class at 8pm
Drop the facade and get real stupid. Explore ways to bring depth to any performance through connection, physicality, and expression. In this clown workshop we’ll discover the real you through game, rules, rule breaking, success and failure. This 4 week class will teach you the skills of clown for performance. The tools are applicable for improv and sketch and will help you create a whole body comedy practice for showing up authentically in the moment and letting the funny be beautiful.
This workshop will be led by Juls & Lis. No previous experience required. Students will also have the opportunity to perform in the student showcase at the end of the 4 week course.
