Hi everyone. I am interested in how clowns devise. It's great to have a community to discuss this. I loosely use a framework of 'stupidity, chaos and fantasy' as drivers of comedy. Having a language to curate choices make the choices clear and specific. Stupidity is doing something the wrong way, Chaos is chaotically engaging with prop, costume or set, and Fantasy is how the clown's inner imagined world overtakes the mundane 'normal' world. Anyhow, keen to hear the frameworks y'all use to develop an act.

I haven’t been as great a welcoming committee as I could be, but want to welcome some new members to the community! @Erol Chandler @Teddy Bess @Stewart Quinn @Reese Lanay @Rich Potter All of you have joined in the last 3 weeks or so. Thanks for joining! I am a little slow to start some conversations, so thanks for bearing with me. (I am also traveling/touring over the next 2 weeks, so bear with that as well!) Feel free to start a topic, ask questions, or go through some of the old content and see if anything grabs you. Also, if there’s something specific that you are looking for in terms of guidance, ask a question, and I will answer it if I can! Best! Adam
