I have had 4 years of intensive theatre training at a private boarding arts school, I'm a busker, a living doll, I dance and sing, tumble, make masks, study commedia dell'arte and I have battle scars on my legs from sad attempts to unicycle.

Does that sound like the kind of baby clown they want?

Look into Dell'arte as well,
might be well suited to you-
more commedia

There is also the juggling night on sundays, for four bucks. that gives you a little look at the space and you can pick up some fun tricks there. There are also alot of fun skill share opportunities in the East Bay search for( East Bay Free Skool.) to find us and we can give you list of others and the fact is there are just tons of performance opportunities in this here part of the world, which as another poster has implied,, the audience will shape you as a clown, the school might teach ya some neat little techniques and may even lead you to a lucrative career in clowning...but will they show you how to create an entire universe out of cardboard survive on nothing but jelly beans. . . no you can only learn that on the road, watch out for traffic!
