There was an article in the NYT last Thursday about Clown Conservatory founder, Jeff Raz. I love the clowns. But this article was one of the more absurd, placing clowning in cahoots with psychoanalysis by way of desocialization. And here is where I run screaming from the room... “Working on clown is in vogue right now," says Dody DiSanto, director of the Center for Movement Theater in Washington. Working on clown? Does that sound, um, dirty to anyone else? Here are some of the workshop names for those of you looking for a little clown action*:DYNAMICS OF CLOWN PARTNERING
DISCOVERING THE CLOWN
ENSEMBLE ADVENTURES IN CLOWN
BOUFFON. THE ANTI-CLOWN
*AKA get your clown on, a phrase I am working on popularizing.
