Chad and Reshma are out in Nipton, CA — a town recently acquired by the circus company Spiegelworld as an incubation space for new shows (Chad and Reshma are working on the first one). They discuss being new to clown, devising a show quickly and what inspires them. PLUS, Jim talks about going to Vegas for his very first clown intensive and what he learned working with some amazing professional circus performers. This was a super fun one!

CHAD ALSO HAS A NEW INTENSIVE! It’s called The Language of Nonsense and is focused on how to start a conversation with an audience, create a vocabulary of play – then build a relationship where the outcome matters as much to the audience as the clown. Great for newcomers, veterans and anyone interested in the psychology of clown.
