Friends in Clowning,

The Clown School’s current class, MIRTH AND MAYHEM, is completely sold out. But fear not! Our next class, FUNNY FEET (a Level 1 class), which starts on May 19 and runs for seven consecutive Sundays (only) thru June 30, is now taking bookings. Come and find out why The Clown School is “truly extraordinary” in the class that “changed my life.” FUNNY FEET is open to all-comers and no previous experience is necessary.

And for participants who are coming from out of town or looking for a different kind of schedule, we are also taking bookings for our next INTENSIVE, which runs August 23, 24 and 25 only. Again, all-comers welcome, no previous experience necessary.

You can sign up for either class right here on our website.

We look forward to seeing you in class!

Dear clowns and potential clowns,

Here at The Clown School we are preparing for a busy 2013. If you’d like to participate in “the best class I’ve ever taken”, sign up for one of our three classes: WHO NOSE? (Level 1), MIRTH & MAYHEM (Level 2), or THE SH*T HITS THE FAN (Level 3). Each class takes you further into the madness of clowning. Note that it is possible to take all three in a row for a complete immersion in the beauty, mess, and wonder of the clown.

Follow the link to ‘Our Classes’ on this site for more information, or email me any time at administrator@theclownschool.com.

We look forward to seeing you in class!

Join us for WHAT KIND OF FOOL AM I?, the latest in our series of “unforgettable and spectacular” classes (LA Stage). There are still a few spots left for the class described by recent students as “awesome” and “my favorite thing I do all week long”!

We love clowning. It releases the creative spirit, shatters useless preconceptions about “success” versus “failure”, and builds community. Come and see what all the laughter is about.

The first of our Fall 2012 classes, SEND IN THE CLOWNS (September 2 – October 14) has sold out. For anyone seeking to join us for one of our “truly spectacular and unforgettable” clown sessions, sign up for WHAT KIND OF FOOL AM I?, starting October 21. Taught by Clown School co-founder David Bridel and veteran clown Zach Steel, the class promises the gamut of clowning exercises, from improvisations to classic routines. Don’t miss the chance to discover your inner clown and revel in the madness of one of LA’s best opportunities for comic training.

David recently returned from an amazing trip to the 1st International Drama Festival at the Stanislavsky Institute in Sao Paulo, Brazil. One of his students there wrote: “I just want to thank you for all the classes – It was really a life-changing experience.” Meanwhile Festival Director Tiaraju Aronovitch described David’s one-man show SUBLIMITY as “a theatrical tour de force… A unique and magical experience.”

SEND IN THE CLOWNS, David’s new clown class, begins September 2nd (one week later than previously advertised). There are just a few places left in the class.

Come and join the experience.
