NEW YORK TRISTATE casting
mance in this one-day Clowning
Workshop at Primary Stages ESPA. Way
beyond ‘being funny,’ clowning is a
way to check your inhibitions at the
door, banish dread of failure, and open
yourself up to the potential of delight.
By rediscovering that vulnerability,
your relationship to all other forms of
drama will be enriched by the openness
and reckless abandon that the clown
requires.”.
