I recently found the first online clown school www.clownschool.net that offers a free course on the history of clowns covering (The beginnings, The middle Ages and the Renaissance, The 1700s ,1800s and1900s) . The Clown look (The Clown Character, The Clown Face: Whiteface, Auguste, Tramp/Hobo , The Clown Character ) to be followed by a test after each course . The Clown Skills (Comedy Magic , Balloon Twisting , Face Painting , Beginning Juggling & Balancing , An Introduction to Puppetry , Crafts , Bubbles ,Games , Story Telling ) . Comedy Material (Skit Performing, Physical Comedy, Staging, Patter, Effective Use of Props, Roving Entertainment, Putting a Show Together) . The Business Side (Business Plan, Marketing, Accounting, Pricing, Booking, Contracts, Resume) . Humor And Stress (History of humor, The Physical Effects of Laughter, The Philosophical Point of View, and The Psychological Point of View) . This pioneering web site even offers information on Job Opportunities at places like (Children Parties , Corporate Functions , Parades , Fairs , Educational Programs , Hospital & Nursing Homes , Restaurants , Trade Shows , Cruises , Holiday Events , Church , Charity , Circus , Daycare & Summer Programs , Add on Business Opportunities ). So if you’re looking to get into clowning and have no idea of where to find a clown school. This may be the way to go! Actually Academy Of Performing Arts in Clowning (A.P.A.C) is the only way to go when it comes to a online clown school. Did I mention that you’ll get all this for only about $175.00 or just $40.00 each course which in my opinion is great for those looking to start clowning and making a few extra bucks.
