Teacher Training
Always wanted to teach Clown?
Thinking about how to incorporate Clown/Commedia work into your teaching? Let's get under the hood and see how it's done!
Make the most of your summer break and join our Teacher Training Program. The Teacher Training Program offers acting teachers (and actors/directors interested in teaching) the opportunity to return to the classroom and augment their skills under the guidance of master teacher Christopher Bayes (Head of Physical Acting, David Geffen School of Drama at Yale and author of Discovering the Clown - available here!) Taught in conjunction with our Summer Clown Intensive, the Teacher Training Program brings trainees into the classroom to watch and assist, with time for discussion and questions throughout the week. Walk away with a deeper understanding with the pedagogy and techniques of teaching Clown, physical theater, and Commedia.
