S1 25 The Clown Is You: A Red Nose Intensive w/ Zach Steel
Go deep into the world of the Simple Clown with Zachary Steel, USC professor and Director of Comedy, teacher at The Idiot Workshop, and a member of Cruel Babes, LA's modern clown ensemble performing monthly at the Elysian Theatre.

Underneath all the poetry and nonsense, the clown is simply you. Without coolness, know-how and wherewithal, the clown is left only with hopes and dreams to navigate the unknowns of the audience, and the world around them. This workshop is a unique opportunity to explore this version of us, vulnerable to even the slightest shifts, stripped of all the cleverness and the wit, in unrelenting pursuit of fun. We will progress to create, stumble through, and happen upon wild, physical, nonsensical comedic material, a celebration of our own personal ridiculousness.
