Workshops
I offer alt‑comedy intensives in clowning, physical comedy, character work and solo show development in Denver with my collaborators Kii Clark and Madly Rosett.
You’ll learn from the artists making Denver “an incubator for new work” in alt‑comedy.
These hands‑on classes welcome beginners discovering their voice, stand‑ups itching to get weirder, improvisers wanting to take more risks or clowns looking to further their devising practices.
Our consent‑forward approach to building an immersive comedy act will help you create work that’s authentic, vulnerable and irresistible to audiences.
Current offerings
Clown Level 1: Finding Your Clown
SOLD OUT!
(Sundays in August 2025, 3-5:30pm)
Study modern clown fundamentals and discover your inner clown by tapping into the parts of you onstage that are honest, ridiculous and deeply human.
This is a space where we take risks, bomb joyfully and find brilliance in the mess. Learn stage presence, build a shared clown vocabulary and craft an absurdly meaningful bit.
Location: Chaos Bloom Theater
Instructors: Madly Rosett, Alice Gillette
Clown Level 2: Building the World
(Starting in September 2025. Sign-ups live end of August)
We’ll expand on the foundations of Level 1 and devise new work using clown logic, status dynamics and emotional heightening.
You’ll develop a workshopped piece that’s deeply personal, delightfully strange and built for the stage. This class is for performers ready to make bold, new work that connects, surprises and gives back.
Clown is for the people, so let’s build something worth sharing together.
Location: Chaos Bloom Theater
Instructors: Madly Rosett, Kii Clark
Clown Level 3: Ensemble Building in a Shared Universe
(Starting in January 2026. Sign-ups live end of September)
Collaborate in an ensemble to devise a thematic show, explore le jeu, and bring your clown universe to life onstage.
You’ll treat this class like a professional company ensemble: bring ideas, costumes, or props, complete any outside prep work and show up fully present. The class culminates in a public showcase where your devised ensemble show comes to life in front of a live audience.
This class is ideal if you’re ready to deepen your creative practice and gain more experience devising with others using the magic of collaborative play.
Location: Chaos Bloom Theater
Instructors: Madly Rosett, Alice Gillette
