500 Clown creates and sells RISKwear, one-of-a-kind recycled clothing designs.

Founded in fall 2000, 500 Clown uses action-based performance, improvisation, and
circus arts to produce theatre that catapults the performers into extreme physical and emotional risk. The work shifts The Audience from passive to active observers and creates a charged environment that celebrates the unpredictable power of the moment. Complete production history available on request. "Life is worth the risk."
