"It's you, of course, the clown. And that's important." -Nader Farman

What happens in a clown class? We introduce ourselves, we have a nice long warmup, our feet get squishy and our heads get floaty, we play with tennis balls and hats, we do group games and solo exercises, and we leave room at the end for questions. It’s active and exciting and my face hurts from laughing every time. You’ll probably leave with a new friend.

We're in an era of cognitive dissonance, hence all this clown talk. Absurd times call for an absurd response. Clown is antifascist and you are brave!

All experience levels welcome.
