Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Go to a student showing on the school events page to see the work first, or pick a beginner workshop such as Intro to Clown from the school page and use its apply link..
You need to sign up first.
What to expect
Workshops are short, multi-day sessions taught by company faculty, such as Emmanuelle Delpech for Intro to Clown and Neutral Mask. Classes use movement, improvised scenes and physical games, so expect to move and play with others. The pages read did not give tuition, daily hours or class size, so ask the school before you sign up.
Tips for your first visit
- Read the workshop description on the school page to check that it is for beginners.
- Ask about tuition and daily hours before you apply, since the pages do not list them.
- Wear clothes you can move in, since the classes are physical.
- Call the company at 215-425-1100 if the apply page leaves questions open.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Workshops are open to the public with a learn more and apply link, and the company lists beginner classes, but the pages read do not give prices, age rules or the steps after applying..
