The Clown Playground is open to people of all levels of experience from fan to professional. Space is limited for the workshops so reserve your spot today by emailing us at play@newyorkdowntownclown.com

CLASS INFORMATION

Slapstick is the comic expression of a physical conflict. This conflict may be between individuals, between a person and an object, or between a person and his environment.

This class offers instruction and development of comedy trips, falls, slaps, kicks, and comic uses of props. This is an ongoing class with rolling open admission. Students may choose to pay for one class at a time or purchase a month pass.

The class operates similar to a yoga or martial arts class, where students of all skill levels are encouraged to come to “workout” and further develop technique.

Borrowing ideas from martial arts training such as Kata and Waza the Slapstick Dojo aims to teach slapstick technique as well as classic slapstick gag structure.

Each session of the dojo will include conditioning exercises, choreography of original or classic acts, and instruction in specific skills, methods, and moves of slapstick greats from silent films, circuses, and contemporary physical comedy. 

First Class is FREE! Come to any class and and try it out for free.

Class taught by Joel Jeske and Christopher Lueck.

WHEN: Every Wednesday from 6-7pm.
WHERE: West Side Dance Project - 260 W 36 Street, 3rd Floor.  
FEE:$15 per class or $50 for a month pass (available at the first class of each month).
