NY Clown Festival Classes
The New York International Clown Festival has a lot of great classes coming up. Most of the teachers are well-known clown pedagogues (and for those of you with a small vocabulary-- it doesn't mean what you think it means! To the best of my knowledge, none of these teachers have ever been convicted (although I am sure they all have convictions of one sort or another) What the festival doesn't have is a good online schedule. At least I can't find it. I've broken it down so that at least it's chronological. Sadly, most of these classes are out of my schedule (that's what I get for directing a play, teaching a university clowning class, and directing a festival all at once) All work and no learning makes Adam a sad boy! Or to borrow more directly from the movie — "KITS PALS KITS PALS KITS PALS" I don't have the time or space to write up each teacher individually-- click on the MORE INFO LINK if you need to know more about the class. Also, each one will take you to a PURCHASE THIS CLASS LINK. My recommendations: Eric Davis, Sue Morrison, and Dominique Jando are all excellent-- I've done some of the Jando work previously, and Eric and Sue are supposed to both be great teachers. Stanley Allan Sherman's class is great. The others are also supposed to be good, but I've heard less about them. Fusetti has taught at Dell'arte (my alma mater) but I never studied with him.
