The
Brick Theater, Inc. presents
Finding your Clown and
Beginning to Write for Clown
taught by Patrick de Valette
at

Patrick de Valette is a master master of the masters. He studied a lot in the best school,
and took every workshop he could with the most important teachers ever created.
Patrick de Valette says : "There is two kind of things, some
are
funny some are not funny"
This class will be an exploration of what is funny and what is not
! But we will
never answer this question : why ? In this short workshop we will work
towards finding some of the most important features that make up your
clown. We will try different
approaches to material and discuss and play with how to write the most efficiently...
**If you have
material you would like to show, we may find a little time together to work on
it in class.
