Letter from the Producer
“Hello NY clown community.

“The Clown Revue is near the completion of its 4th year. In that time the show has met all of its initial goals and exceeded my personal expectations. In four years we have presented over 300 different clown acts! We are so grateful for the support and work that the entire community has given us. We are grateful for the amazing relationships between clown artists, audience, photographers, techies, companies, and media the Clown Revue has inspired. Thank you to everyone.

“After evaluating the company’s mission as well as my personal goals I have decided this will be the Clown Revue’s final year. There will be 2 more Revue performances (February 15th, and March 15th) and 1 last Golden Nose Awards Ceremony on April 19 2010.

“From the onset the Clown Revue’s goal was educational, to give NY clowns an opportunity to learn by performing and learn by observing. I have learned a lot about the art of clowning over the past four years and I hope each clown in NYC took many lessons away from the Revue. I have enjoyed watching the community grow and individuals take personal and artistic risks. I am so grateful for the opportunity to have presented the show and value each clown’s contribution over the years.

“I will miss the artistic dialogue on stage every month and I will miss the gathering of community. But I look forward to the clown future that 4 years of the Clown Revue helped create.

“There are still slots available in the final performances, if you want to perform let me know asap: info[at]newyorkdowntownclown.com.

“Thanks for your support as audience and clowns over the past four years.

“Clown On!”

ClownLab show- Feb 13, 14 (NY)

Jef Johnson is a principal clown in the international touring company of Slava’s Snowshow. As Clown, he has also toured with Cirque du Soleil. Jef has more than 20 years of experience working in a wide range of physical styles. His approach is rooted in subjective expression, physical expression of condition through impulse and reflex. He has studied corporeal expression from disciples of Grotowski, Suzuki, Marceau, Decroux, Lecoq, Meyerhold, M. Chekhov, Vakhtangov.

He teaches a Clown Lab in NY on a fairly regular basis. The product, or clinical trial, as he prefers to call it, of one of those Clown Labs will be coming up on Feb 13 & 14.

I haven’t studied with him, so can’t really say what his teaching style is like. His website and (clown journal) was a bit too impenetrable for me to figure out exactly what he is all about.

With most things like this, the best way to figure out if you want to study with him is to go see some of his work. Here are the details to check it out for yourself.
