What is a clown? The clown, first and foremost, is a character that an audience can identify with or relate to. Costume, make-up, technical skills serve as a support to the character, not the other way around. How do you create that character? And how do you execute that character in a way that allows us to laugh at the best and worst of ourselves?
Tim Marrone has been performing and teaching clown techniques throughout the Baltimore/DC area and beyond for decades. Join him at FPCT for two fundamental, exploratory, exercise-based collaborative workshops.
Classes will take place in person at Fells Point Corner Theatre in the Sokal Theatre on the second floor. This space is unfortunately only accessible via stairs.
These workshops are appropriate for participants 18 years or older who have some past experience performing or studying performance. No prior clown experience necessary. Workshops can be taken together or alone. Each workshop is $50 each. No refunds can be issued after the starting date. Space is limited.
Tim received his training at the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre in New York City and has appeared on stage throughout the Northeast, most recently in the Baltimore/Washington DC area. For ten years, Tim served as a founding member of the Maryland-based clown/theatre troupe Theatricks. He has appeared as a silent comic character for the Washington National Opera, The Maryland Lyric Opera, The Summer Opera Series at Catholic University, and has toured as a clown with the George Carden Circus.
