Join Community Transformation Players on Saturday, September 26 for an introduction to clowning and physical theater techniques! Even if you don't intend to become a clown, these techniques are a great foundation for other performance and character work.
Are you a little silly? Do you ever play the fool in your friend group? Do you yearn to mock the king? You’re not alone partner! Come join us for a three hour ~soirée~ where we will give you the tools to experiment and find your inner clown!
This workshop will be exploring the clowning principles of vulnerability, play and failure through games and exercises. Come dressed to move, bring a snack, and get your whimsy on!

There, they met and co-created performance company Magenta Mountain Majesty and premiered original clown sci-fi show Big Bug Island at North Coast Repertory Theater. They’ve also spent time in Portland, Oregon, organizing and performing with Clown as Protest, a group of clowns engaging in Anti-war activism and tomfoolery! They love the transformative power of clowning and physical theater and want to continue to create joyful, accessible and honest spaces to practice tomfoolery!
