Clown Slapstick Workshop by The Jester Rejects

We will demonstrate clown slaps, hits, and slapstick for one person, two people, and up to four people, arena choreography, and projecting to an audience in the round.
We will cover how to build a routine, for instance, whether it’s a clown routine or basic interaction between two or more characters. We will also cover how to project your character and your interactions for various stages and in the round-type performances.
We will also discuss how to integrate routines with your specific character, as well as with the audience.
