Running Monday, June 22 - Thursday June 25, The Clown School will hold a four-day intensive clowning session lead by the school's Co-Founder and Artistic Director, David Bridel.

Suitable for beginners and returning clowns alike, the Summer Intensive session will present the unique and extraordinary challenge to participants to dive head first into the deep end. Previously described as "legendary," "magnificent," and "life-changing," this four-day intensive session with Mr. Bridel will also offer students the incredible opportunity to open up and truly transform themselves.

"These guys will change the way that you live in your body and will help you make more room for your talent and your fun. Study with them. Make a beautiful and hilarious mess," says Christopher Bayes, Head of Physical Acting, Yale School of Drama. And of the class, Mr. Bridel explains, "We base our work in the discipline of clown because we believe that clowning embraces and celebrates the totality of the human experience and offers unparalleled freedom in art. We love to play!"

The Summer Intensive runs Monday, June 22 through Thursday, June 25, 11am-5pm daily. Classes will be held in Los Angeles and the fee is $376, with discounts offered to those who have previously attended a Clown School class. In July, The Clown School is offering a Grotesque Clown class taught by Alex Sulha, for returning clowns or those with previous clown experience who wish to continue their journey. Likewise, discounts are available for previous students as well as those who invite their friends to join The Clown School's mailing list and Facebook and Twitter pages.

The Clown School, through the work of Artistic Director David Bridel, offers the highest quality of clown training to actors, performers, comedians, and participants from all walks of life, including doctors, teachers, healers, film-makers, and students. The School has successfully "graduated" legions of new clowns, including many members of the multi-award-winning company Four Clowns, and won widespread acclaim for its classes.

The Clown School has been described as "truly spectacular and unforgettable" by LA Stage, and "inspiring and amazing", "the best class I have ever taken", "life-changing", "ridiculous and fabulous", "sensational", "revolutionary stuff", and more by its 1000's of students. Based in Los Angeles, The Clown School has traveled to China, Australia, Turkey and Brazil to spread the gospel of clowning, forming connections and partnerships with ground-breaking companies and organizations around the world. www.theclownschool.com.
