A Master Class in Clown: Skill Integration with The Submarine Show

A Master Class in Clown: Skill Integration with The Submarine Show

Can you burp the alphabet, sing opera, play the kazoo, decorate a cake, solve a rubics cube, fold a paper crane,
dance ballet on point, stand on one hand, or make fart sounds in your arm pit?
Any skill can be a vehicle for narrative.

This master class in physical theatre, lead by former Cirque du Soleil performer Jaron Hollander
and Emmy Award winner Slater Penney, explores how tricks and narrative can be combined
to create truly virtuosic performances.

For Slater Penney, variety is the spice of life. He is a national and international award winning performing artist,
choreographer and instructor, his biggest award being an Emmy in 2001 for work as a motion capture specialist with
Tech TV. He graduated from UC Santa Cruz in the Theatre Arts, studied circus in San Francisco and Oakland, and

toured with Gamelan X, Make*A*Circus, Lunatique Fantastique, and The Crucible's Fire Operas. He has two devised
works of physical theatre: "Le Projet Migration," with his wife Christine Germain, and "The Submarine Show," with
