​ 2026 CLASSES
*About the structure of Clown Classes:
Clown has become an enormous area of interest and has grown tremendously in recent years.
In response, I am offering 3 levels of training to support you along the way.
If you have not taken clown before, please start with Intro to Clown.
Intro to Clown: This level is for first timers and can be repeated at will. If you just dipped your toe in and want to get more comfortable, jump in again and again! All levels welcome.
Clown for All: This level unleashes the relentless search for play. The exercises are tailored to the group and will lean deeper into the poetry of what makes you funny. A heartening place to find your freedom, learn the ease of making ruckus, and stretch out into a state of discovery.
This class can be repeated endlessly!
​
Clown Studio: This level will focus on the art of clown and creation of work.
The trainings will be curated through an application process and run as a summer intensive.
Intro to Clown*
May 16 & 17, 2026
Saturday & Sunday
10am - 5pm
Tuition: $265
Deposit due with registration: $90 (non-refundable)
Open to all levels; Class limited to 15 participants
In Clown, we embark on the wondrous journey to rediscover innocence and uncover the
pleasure of play. It is a daring adventure, in which we open our fragile hearts in search of fun.
The little red nose (the smallest mask) is a great liberator. It requires generosity and summons
transparency, revealing our wonderful and complicated simplicity.
A riotous inquiry . . . a playful encounter . . . a look at our laughable & loveable selves.
We love clowns because they make us laugh while revealing the range of mythical and
emotional archetypes within each one of us.
To find your clown is to tap into your own, personal source of spontaneous
expressiveness and to experience the pleasure of play.
The honesty and openness we find in clown will follow us everywhere we go.

Tuition: $650 (combined with Neutral Mask Part 2: $1200 for both courses)
Deposit due with registration: $150 (non-reufndable)
✦ This class is open to all levels and a pre-requisite for Neutral Mask Part 2​
Generating energy, size and presence, mask work guides us to eliminate habitual patterns, encouraging clarity of movement and a greater command of stillness. In neutral mask we learn to play the rhythms of life, to silence the excess noise, to become an environment upon which we reflect the poetics of the natural world.
The neutral mask is an educational tool tapping the inherent dynamic wisdom of the body as avehicle to find freedom, awareness, and expression.It is a foundation and point of reference for building all character. A full-face mask that you wear through a series of exercises, the mask engages a large space and beckons you to expand your presence.Grappling with the properties of spatial awareness, the mask is used to eliminate superfluous action and to distill movement down to essential rhythms. It encourages clarity of movement, a greater command of stillness, and provides a clear slate upon which we inscribe character.
Neutral means ready urging you to:
-
broaden your play
-
heighten your spatial awareness
-
free your body to respond without the control of the mind
-
support and develop your physical abilities​
Pushing us to our growing edge, the mask guides us into a dialogue with our habits arriving atthe truth through essential gesture.
There are 3 masks:
the one we think we are,
the one we really are,
and the one we hold in common.
Neutral Mask Part 2
August 5 - 9
Wednesday - Sunday
10am - 5pm
Tuition: $650 (combined with Neutral Mask: $1200 for both courses)

​​
Building on the foundation, this long-awaited sequel continues the rigorous physical practice while advancing into text work, ensemble-driven exploration, and the creation of cohesive tragic space.
​
Where the first neutral mask class focused on recognizing and relinquishing habitual patterns in pursuit of a more universal body, this class deepens that work—integrating the voice and extending into ensemble practice.
