About The Clown Revue
The mission of The Clown Revue is to explore the art of clowning. It challenges clowns to create new and risky material. it also provides learning experiences for spectators through observation of clown acts and for performers through trials of acts in front of an audience. Both trial and observation are critical to the learning process.
It is also our mission to present all types of clowning. New performers, old pros, theatre clowns, circus clowns, and bizarre clown comedians all have a place at the revue. By presenting the broadest range of clown entertainment and art possible it is our hope to discover the commonalities that all clown performance share. Thus creating an inclusive working definition of the clown art form.
Lastly, the Clown Revue hopes to aid in creating an identifiable American style of Modern Clowning.
The Clown Revue searches for two types of acts:
PRESENTED ACTS:We look for new acts developed by clowns. These acts are then presented in a show. These "Presented Acts" must be new to the Revue and be categorized by the artist as "A Clown Act" or "An Act Highly Influenced by Clown." The Presented acts can be by established clown artists trying something new or from new clowns sharing their work at The Revue for the first time. To submit an act email us at info@newyorkdowntownclown.com and tell us all about your act and work! The goal of presenting these acts is to give voice to clown’s pure expression.
COMMISSIONED ACTS:These acts are a collaboration between clown performers and The Clown Revue. First we discuss the clowns goals and interests. Then we commission a specific act based on those goals. Sometimes the commission is a challenge outside the comfort zone of the clown's established work, while at other times the commission is a new take on their distinctive style. Commissions can include inspiration by clown style, piece of music, clown concepts, time limit, or any other idea that inspires creativity. The goal of these acts is to discover new elements of performance available to clowns and for clowns to dig deeper into their imaginations and creativity.
