This review is from: Be a Clown! (Paperback)

I originally purchased this book as a potential reference book for an associate of mine but made the mistake of reading it. This book is great! It's written in a fun, thought-provoking way that can inspire anyone -- even me -- to clowning. It gave me a whole new appreciation for the art of clowning. It gives information on choosing a character, costume, the all important hat, makeup and even skits and physical gags you can do. If you're interested in clowning or are just curious about the art of it you have to buy this book! It's an exceptional resource and a must-have for the aspiring clown's library!

This review is from: Be a Clown! (Paperback)

This is a wonderful book that will introduce you to the basics and essentials of clowning.You'll find lots of photos and exercises that touch on many of the aspects of clowning including; warm-ups, skits, creating routines, clown\props relationship, costuming, physial comedy, make-up, clown psychology, clown\clown relationship, and so much more. Plus the most important and always emphasized aspect, your own clown character development. There is tons of practical info in this awesome book. I believe this to be the best beginning clown book one can buy!
