About This Class

Clown is an acting journey that is one of the gates of our imagination. Why do we tend to hide our real feelings in daily life? Where do our postures, our voices come from? Do people think about how they walk? We can change all our characteristics when we intend. Just accept your creature how it is and start to grow up and shape your body like dough. Comedy acting class encourages you to make your life joyful.
