I had no idea that there are different types. I thought a clown was a clown was a clown. Now I realize the one I've seen most often is the Auguste style at the circus (or Ronald McDonald). I've probably seen the other kinds in movies or on TV, but I just assumed they were all lumped together in the same category. I also didn't know that hats were so important to creating a clown character. When I think of a costume, I first think of big shoes, billowy pants, scarves, and a red nose. While reading Be A Clown, I got pretty excited to try clowning because I love humor, but I've always used it with the voice and not physically. Now I get to try the other side and I have a feeling this could be my favorite part of class. As a side note for the people in class who are afraid of them, maybe clowning will actually help you feel less scared!
P.S. I really hope I get to try a spit take.
