Testimonials (these are real):

“I can't overstate how compelling and inspiring Claire is as a teacher.  I’ve taken a lot of classes and worked with a lot of directors and learning from her was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. She has a critical eye capable of seeing the performance you already have inside of you. More importantly, she has the breadth of experience to take what you already have and build it to new heights. I can say with confidence that not only did Claire double the amount of workable material I had, but her notes and direction elevated the content tenfold. I have recommended her classes to everyone I know and will continue to do so because I really believe that she will fundamentally make you a better performer and artist.”—Will Dwyer

“Claire’s workshop used creative prompts, artistic inspiration, personalized coaching, and group feedback. She guided each of us to dig deeper into how to make better creative work. She brings humor, insight, and an understanding of artistic process. Full-throated recommendation for weirdos needing to break through walls.” — Edith Darling

”Claire was a brilliant teacher and director. I've been taking clown classes with different instructors for over a year, but it wasn't until Claire's class that I finally put up my own work, and I'm so glad that I finally have. Claire gave poignant constructive notes and guidance in class. She was also a generous resource outside the classroom, allowing me to call her on more than one occasion to get some guidance and direction on constructing my 30 minute solo show. I'd highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to put up solo work. Claire's class provided the motivation, inspiration, and accountability I needed to finally start putting up my own solo work.” –Shane Barbera

SHOLO SOW:

A class to discover the solo show you have inside you. 

How do you make a show? What is your show? Do you have an idea? A narrative? No idea? Hate the idea of a narrative? Want to narrate about an idea you have? Think ideas themselves are for the birds? Great! All of these are the perfect place to discover the show that wants to collaborate with you. Shows get made by making. Each week you will be given generative prompts and time to perform in this workshop style class. There’s a show inside you that wants to come out and if you show up it will too. I’ll guide you on the path to finding the show only you can do.
