Intro to Clown: Finding Your Absurd - Ell C. Dellorso

$200.00

About This Class

Saturdays 10am-12pm, 4 weeks. Starting January 10th.

This class will be held at The Pack Theater
1615 N Vermont Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90027

Intro to Clown: Finding Your Absurd

  • I aim to take your ideas and help you look at them through an absurd perspective/lens. Allowing you to find the fun in absurdity. 

  • My intent is also to tap into your acting ability; to bring a grounded realness to every clown piece, so even when you're doing the craziest/most farcical thing, it's still approachable and funny to the audience. 

  • The class approaches clown from a distinctive "what's the funny/absurd thing" perspective. And in that way, it explores game, but through a very imbecilic and abstract lens.

About The Teacher

 Ell C. Dellorso is a boundary pushing performer that fuses their background in Clown, Theatre, and Comedy into a jaw dropping, tear filled, laughter inducing performance style. Ell brings their background in theater and musical theater to classes and pairs that with their years of experience as a mainstay at UCB, where they regularly performed character, improv, and sketch. Their desire is to blend this experience and knowledge with their extensive work in Clown, to bring you a uniquely invigorating class experience. Ell's unique training allows them to cross genres and speak to students from not only a clown perspective, but that of character, theater, and improv. Not to be forgotten! Ell's experience as a Queer performer is infused in everything they do and their hope is to cultivate a warm, welcoming, and creatively fulfilling experience for the multitude of queer performers! (As well as everyone that walks through the door!). 

Ell can regularly be seen at the Elysian theater, performing their award nominated solo show, "The Life and Times of a Gay Bug", which premiered at the Elysian's Spaghetti Festival, along with their electric ensemble production, "Catch a Betch". Additionally, you can spot Ell on the big screen... or whatever tv is in your apartment... in various commercials and tv shows for Peacock, Amazon, Cricket Wireless, and FX. Ell sold their first project in 2019, aptly named "For the Throne"- a Game of Thrones parody- to a social media startup and is working on becoming social media famous... they've got this.
