Donna will offer a free performance workshop in Clown Through Mask, a complete introductory course that uses the Pochinko Clowning technique created by visionary master teacher Richard Pochinko. Not only will Donna’s workshop be open to the public, but it will also be the first time that this often-expensive training has been offered for free within the United States. As a performance art that holds potential for inclusivity, this workshop will expand the types of bodies and stories we see on the mainstream stage as well as celebrate personal histories, rather than ignore them, within the creative process. The workshop will culminate with a public showing of student work.
