Festival Artist Panel Discussion

Cultural Approaches to Theatre Clowning

There are many schools of thought when it comes to theatre clown training, but through different schools’ styles and cultures, is there a common goal? How does a performer’s personal history and/or cultural lens manifest in their work? Join us for a dynamic conversation with festival artists about the many ways clowns are born, and how their stories end up on-stage.
