Physical Comedy 101 with Adam Gertsacov

In this 3 hour workshop, the class will learn some skills from the ancient and honorable art of clowning. After a brief physical warmup and a couple of theatrical games, we’ll focus on learning some classic clown/physical comedy skills and tricks, and then incorporate them into a classic clown routine. The class will culminate with the students creating their own brief clown routines.
