The trio known as 500 Clown creates some of the most accomplished foolishness and significant slapstick in Chicago theatre. Now The Actors Gymnasium is pleased to present a 500 Clown workshop, exploring the use of physical risk to access emotional risk onstage. This class will help participants develop a sense of play and probe the multiple relationships that keep a performer reactive and body-centered rather than stuck in his or her own head. Come dressed to move.

More information on 500 Clown is available online at www.500clown.com.

Taught by Paul Kalina

Please note there are two sessions of 500 Clown: Risk, Play, and Relationship, both of which meet in different locations. The content of each class, however, is the same.
