Initiation to Clown is for anyone who has an interest in the art of clown and who wants to be introduced to Francine Côté’s method, but who has little to no training or professional experience in theatre, circus or dance.

What happens when long-form improv crashes joyfully into the beautiful disaster of clown? In **ClownProv**, Isaak Kessler invites performers to explore a bold, physical, and deeply playful approach to spontaneous comedy. This workshop focuses on audience connection, physical impulse, rhythm, failure, surprise, and the joyful tension between structure and chaos.

"You don't create your clown... you just let him come. Then, you accept him with affection and share him with others. A work of simplicity, sincerity, vulnerability and joy of play." -Francine Côté
