Introducing... a 9 Hour Course Focused on Shrine Clowning.

​

 If you are a Shrine clown looking to improve your presentations when working in circuses, hospitals, and on your own, we have just the course for you. This is an in depth course not normally available at conventions. From hospital visits to Circus arenas, in this course Fred will use several different approaches to explore various ways of performing that are utilized by Shrine clowns.

Wake Up and Shake Up Your Makeup (and Costume)

Whether you are a seasoned veteran or just starting out in clowning, Tricia will join Fred to share with you some of the changes in makeup products, techniques, and styles that you can take advantage of to review, renew, or even totally redo your makeup to put your best face forward.  She will also talk about some costume accessories and additions than can give you a new look or to simply update what you already have.

​

Adding Character to the Look of Your Clown

They say “beauty is only skin deep” and it is surely true of clowns! So how do you make that inner beauty of what the Shrine clown does, shine through? Part of this is in the creation of a memorable character. Fred will help yo find the tools you need to find the clown skin you can be comfortable in and that works for you.

 

Making Magic In Small Places 

Shrine clowns don’t just do big gags on the circus arena floor. They often work up close and personal in hospitals and in the audience at circuses and events. Pocket magic, props, tricks, and gag are go-to items for any clown to use in small places and for small groups, but you don’t have to carry a clown car worth. A few, well done, will serve you well. Fred will share some that you can use ‘on the go’ wherever you go.

​

Competitions: How to Make the Most of Them  

Win, place, or show, or simply to be seen, there are many reasons to participate in the competitions at Shrine and other conventions. Whether your goal is to win a ribbon, get a critique, or just for the thrill of the chase, Fred will share tips on how competitions can help you grow and become a better clown.
