As always, our focus is on creating your clown character and discovering how to begin developing material and finding your comic voice. This session also includes clown history, makeup and circus skills class. Classes are held daily from 10am til 5:00pm, with a performance for family and friends on the final day.

Additionally, with the continued growth of Medical Clowning world-wide, we would like to offer coursework that deals with the specific nature of humor in healing. It’s important to remember that good hospital clowning starts with good clowning, and that is of utmost importance. So while our overall goals are committed to all areas of clowning, we plan to focus some of our classwork specifically on the hospital work.

If you are wondering if Goof School is right for you, let us break it down a bit. Our goal is to help students create and further develop their clowning through character, working from the inside out. Tools we use are improvisation, movement, clowning, circus skills, classic routines and eccentric dance. Students often say that Goof School is as much a journey of self-discovery as of clowning, so if you are ready to find out who you are as a clown and how to take a big step into the clown world, you won't want to miss our school.

A few words about Goof School

When the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Clown College closed its doors in 1998, there was suddenly no place in the country to study the art of physical comedy and clowning. Having been part of the amazing process of finding talent and guiding young people toward a career in clowning and the circus, Dick Monday & Tiffany Riley felt it was important to develop a new training ground for clowns. Hence, the NY Goofs Clown School was born in 1999 in New York City. In the past fifteen years, we have had hundreds of students train with the New York Goofs, and many of them have gone on to perform with Ringling Bros., The Big Apple Circus, Cirque du Soleil, and in theatrical companies around the country. Our students have included professional clowns, actors, doctors, nurses, stock brokers, lawyers, and even members of the clergy! Clowning is our passion, and it is our mission to help ensure that physical comedy will live long and prosper through continuous training of new talent.
