Full-length CLASSES

All classes end in a class show for the public.

LEVEL 1

Clown trains us to be fully present. Class curriculum includes exercises from Jacques Lecoq, Jean Taylor, Merry Conway, Nader Farman, Keith Johnstone and more, aiming to move us past ego and toward our shared humanity. Come on out, try on the red nose.

LEVEL 2

In this class, we will learn that anything can be the clown's script. We will lean into the most vulnerable parts of yourself and heighten them to a ridiculous extent. By the end, you will have the tools to begin building your own clown show.

Prerequisite: BCC Clown Level 1 or equivalent clown experience.

LEVEL 3

You’ve started getting laughs as a clown but now how do you do it six days a week and twice on Saturdays for an audience that’s never even heard of clowning? In this class, we’ll use the skills you’ve learned to create a fully realized thematic show, collaboratively created by the ensemble.

Prerequisite: BCC Clown Level 2 or equivalent experience.
