First things first: RED RED NOSE, our next class beginning January 22nd 2012, has sold out. Places on the waiting list are available – click on this link if you’d like to try your luck.
So it’s an auspicious moment to announce our next class for 2012: THE SHOW MUST GO ON, running March 25 to May 13 2012, taught by David Bridel. Using the principles of clowning, participants will be guided in the creation of several original solo pieces, to be performed in the classroom over the course of the 7 week session. For those who love improvisation, never fear – every session, and even the original pieces themselves, will be filled with plenty of spontaneous thrills and spills, and the ever-present beauty of making stuff up on the spot. THE SHOW MUST GO ON aims to unleash the creative spirit in each participant, and to demonstrate that desire, commitment, and a love of the audience are the true ingredients of memorable performance.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to work on your self, your material, your sense of humor, and your courage, all under the roof of one of LA’s most successful new studios. “Working with David,” wrote a recent Clown School participant in Beijing, “a miracle happens.”
Meanwhile, Orlando Pabotoy, The Clown School co-founder, is planning to return to Los Angeles to teach for us, July 1-8, 2012. Orlando’s work is increasingly in demand, and his choreography for Classic Stage‘s sensational production of The Cherry Orchard, starring John Turturro, has received overwhelming critical acclaim. Watch this space for more details on Orlando’s visit.
We look forward to seeing you in class!
