Introduction

Do you occasionally feel like your life is one big circus? Well here’s your chance to be a clown—a real clown.  Clown classes are offered at community colleges, clown schools and even at theater arts schools.  We have over a hundred clown schools listed on our web site and we have over a hundred teachers that will come to your location to teach a class or workshop.

The courses at the long term clown school programs can be expensive and usually run longer periods (like months or years) and take a lot of effort to complete. But well worth the time and money to the right person. They will teach you, all of the major clown skills. Like how to build a clown character, clown skits, costuming, makeup, and more.

Each of the clown schools is a little different from the others. Some teach Mime Clowning, other schools teach  clown mask theater, and other schools teach physical clown theater. So spend some time checking out the different clown schools. For more details on the differant types of clown schools,   checkout  the Types of Schools web page under the Educational Info menu.

For shorter classes, checkout the Educational Events menu. It takes you to the  website ClownEvents.com, which has calendars listing the the shorter courses, workshops, conventions, and jams.

If you're lucky enough to be in the company of great professional clowns, it's a good idea to try and soak up as much of that knowledge as you possibly can. Checkout the Network Menu. It has a hyperlink to the website ClownNetworking.com with links to just a few of the better places to find these people.

Here are a few of the places that offer Art of Clowning classes, near your part of the world.
