Clown School of San Francisco

I absolutely love Christina and the Clown School of San Francisco. Last fall I became obsessed with the idea of being a clown after I watched a series of Cirque du Soileil shows and found Christina’s clown school soon after. After taking the intro clown workshop over two weekends this past November, I’m currently in the 5 month long advanced clown performance class.
Christina is the sweetest and she creates a wonderful safe environment in which to learn and create. Her classes accommodate people of all ages. On top of being a great teacher, she’s also a wonderful clown and performer. i had the pleasure of seeing her in a clown show called «To Bury a Cat.» Not only was it hysterical, but it was surprisingly extremely moving as well.
I highly recommend her classes to anyone interested in clowning, anyone looking to break out of their shell, or anyone just looking to have a great time and try something new. I think it’s great that just a little red nose can give a person permission to be almost anything!

Unique clown school which emphasizes character development and physical acting (think Bill Irwin) rather than acrobatics (SF School of Circus Arts, Acrosports). The first class helps you develop your own clown character, and the second class uses your character to develop a short act. The instructor, Christina, is excellent and very encouraging.
