I don’t know much about this, but it might be right up your clown alley. The Manege Center for Circus, Music Hall and Street Performance, in collaboration with the Swedish branch of Clowns Without Borders and the Stockholm Academy of Dramatic Arts, is offering a one-year master’s degree program in Physical Comedy. Classes are in English and start January 2011. “Upon completion of the programme students will be qualified to work with Clowns without Borders internationally.” You might want to ask if “qualified” means “offered a job,” but certainly worth looking into.
This is a physical comedy blog, not a circus blog, which means my main focus is on how physical comedy works rather than on reviewing circuses. However, before I get to my little piece on the delayed gag, a few words on Sweden’s Cirkus Cirkör, where I saw this really nice delayed gag and so much more Saturday night at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
