About the workshop:

A 6-week introduction to clown and creation taught by NYC clown/comedian Darius Emadi.

Over six weeks, you'll:

  • Learn to connect to the audience to find genuine laughs

  • Discover your own unique ridiculousness and what makes you funny

  • Experience freedom and aliveness on stage

  • Find joy in failure and freedom through it

  • Unleash your play, fun, and natural stupidity

  • Co-create new material with the audience

Through play, games, and shared discovery, we’ll explore the fundamental building blocks of clown, and how pleasure, connection and failure become the roots of true freedom on stage. By the end, you’ll leave more alive, open, and connected performer, with an original piece of your own ready for the stage.

Taught in English | Open to all levels
