About the Camp
Are you looking to enhance your acting skills? Join us for our Clowning Skills Boot Camp, where you'll dive into the art of comedy and performance. This boot camp is crafted to help you connect with audiences and find joy in every moment. Explore the history of clowning and participate in exercises that refine your comedic timing and help you create a distinct character that captivates and entertains. Participants should be comfortable performing in front of an audience and working with scene partners, so some intermediate level of experience and stage confidence is required. This camp provides the ideal opportunity to improve your skills and appreciate the beauty in every moment. Come prepared to laugh, learn, and grow as a performer!
