Class Description:
Hey you, look at all the things you are discovering with your big, soft brain and flower heart. There's like a thousand ideas and regrets and howtofores and whatnots in there! Confetti!
Bring those pieces of heart and hope to this practice ground with your sparkly friends! Keep your connection to the comic world warmed up and ready to go.
Advanced Clown Warmup lets you explore The Pandemonium Studio concepts in a guided practice. Each class in this series of three helps you explore the Big Idea. We start with an advanced warmup (OOoo advanced!) and spill over into exercises that help you practice & hone your skills - and, most importantly, stay in hot pursuit of your fun.
So bring your unfinished business, reunite with those friends you made that one time, and come get fully in your body. You will burst with whawha and haha, and spill out into the weekend ready for adventure. Do some advanced practice in this series and travel a great distance in pursuit of the chimerical Big Idea.
Students will need to have exposure to Chris Bayes’ Clown pedagogy to join (that's what makes you super advanced don't ya know!)
