Intro to Clown for Improvisers Workshop
Saturday, Mar 14, 2026 @ 2:00 PM EDT • Multiple prices
Description
Check out this growing artform and see how it can benefit you as an improviser!
In this one off workshop we will begin with a simple premise - that the clown is not an idiot, but rather an absolute genius doing an idiotic thing. We will then move through a series of group games, partnered and solo exercises, all exploring the thrill of being fully present on stage without a plan, safety net, or any kind of “good” idea. Expect to fail, fail again and then fail better as we in the audience inform you through our laughter (or lack thereof), what we find to be uniquely funny about YOU!
Prerequisite: Completed Improv 1 at HVC
