My Story
Truth be told, I had little idea I could be funny until I started street performing as a juggler in Europe in the summer of 1981.

Develop, Expand, Deepen your clown world! Offered online numerous times last year with enthusiastic participation, this series is for performers who already have a sense of their clown, and wish to grow their mastery.

Deep Winter Blues (in Deutsch) w/ Cornelius von Collande
jeden Mittwoch Abend online, 19:30-21:00, 19. Januar – 9. Februar 2022

Die Frage ist, mit welcher Haltung Sie am ehesten das Unbekannte wählen und wagen?
