Bay Area Clowning Jam!

topic posted Sat, June 28, 2008 - 12:56 PM by  TANKBOY
So, I want to start a social training party thing....for us clowns!

The idea is to make a regular social get together, in the spirit of clowning. To practice, play, do drills, put together acts, clown around, and just hang out, and have a good time.

So i am turning to you, the clowning community, for some input.

1. How often do you think it should be? monthly? semi-monthly? weekly?

2. Where should it be held? I can probably find space for it in the Vulcan, but i wonder if that is the best venue for it, it might be nice to have it where people can venture out and interact with an impromptu "audience" aka, people on the street.

3. When should we have the first one?



Lemme know!

    Monthly would probably be best for everyone's schedules, and it makes it a little more special I think. Or at least easier to set the time aside. Though semi-monthly might not be too bad.

    Personally I'm all for the East Bay ;-)

    I live in a warehouse in Downtown Oakland where I have been trying to get a circus skill share going (which is not turning out to well due to lack of motivation and help), but I would be more than willing to open it up again for something like this.
    ...just throwing that out there...
    Oh, and I agree that monthly meetings would be grand.
    Sounds fun, and I'm looking forward to getting together!

      cool, well, isaac called the one for tomorrow, at 110 Capp (at 16th) in sf.

      and we can set the next one, prefferably not on a wednesday, at your warehouse, and hopefully we can use those two "meetings" to try to set something a little more permanent up.

      Catch you clowns later!

      or uh, see ya tomorrow. (i wont be staying very long, but plan to stop by for a bit)

        Sorry, just checked tribe, and I wasn't able to make it to ArtSF...
        The invitation is still out there if you want to do something at my place.
        Just send me a message. :)
