Physical Comedy
Hi all! Who here does physical comedy?? Pratfalls, goofy movements, etc........Just wondering how many of you are into the athletic side of clowning?

I agree on that TJ. It's more that some will be more physical than others or use it more consious than others. The degree of physical comedy can be layed different by what your strong sides are. I'm personally better in physical comedy than verbal comedy so I naturally tend to use it more than probably others who are verbally stronger although I'm not a silent clown.

I took a class at Clown Camp a few years ago and learned how to do it without hurting myself and others. I was hooked!

I use physical comedy, but no falls, unfortunately fell [not while clowning] and damaged one of my knees.

I took a physical comedy course through moosberger university in 1994 and use to do alot of it, however age and weight have taken over so I don't do much any more, I need to take another class on it again. I may look into that Avner course.
