CLOWNING: Red Nose, Play, and Presence
A Three-Day Workshop with Michael F. Toomey
This workshop invites actors into the rich, transformative world of Clown. an exploration of the Red Nose, Play, Complicity, and why each is essential to the actor’s craft.
Across cultures, the Clown has served as a mischief-maker and a mirror. They reveal what is most human in all of us—and ask us to laugh at it.
In this three-day experience, actors will discover what is most human, most vulnerable, and most ridiculous about themselves—and invite the audience to laugh.
Led by master clown teacher Michael F. Toomey (trained with Philippe Gaulier and Giovanni Fusetti), this intensive blends physical theatre, improvisation, and and the authentic self to help actors rediscover their Clown and deepen their capacity for connection, presence, and play.
