THE ART OF RIDICULOUS
PHYSICAL COMEDY INTENSIVE
WITH FAMED CLOWN, JOHN GILKEY You are an idiot. First accept this, then learn how to use it and your ability to play comedy will grow exponentially. Almost without exception, the successful film and stage comedians of today play the clown archetype. Learn what the clown archetype is and how to play it. Discover your sense of anarchy, humility and stupidity in this crash-course clown class with John Gilkey from Cirque du Soleil. *Ages 16+
John Gilkey is an american circus icon. From his humble beginning with the Pickle Family Circus in San Francisco to his years working with the top circuses in the world: Cirque du Soleil (Iris, Varekai, Dralion, Quidam) and Dragone's Le Reve, he continues to bring laughter to stage. He can currently be seen performing in Iris at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood as well as serving up "undefinable alternative comedy" with his group We Are Nudes at venues around Los Angeles. Tues. June 12- 1-4pm $50
