Learning a Clown Routine
Learning a Clown Routine requires you to develop and create a funky persona and mastering physical comedy with your body and not just your words. A clumsy, naive, and comically stupid character is a great example of a good clown persona. Exaggerating your movements and making eye contact/interacting with your crowd is also how you can be perceived as “silly” or “goofy” to your spectators.
