Clown Skits

Three Clowns in Tradition... Buy From Art.com

Clown acts look simple and easy. Like good tennis players, golfers, or experts in other sports, clowns must be so skilled that their acts look effortless.

It is not by accident, however, that clowns fall without hurting themselves, hit themselves and others without bodily harm, land safely in nets, and hang from apparatus, slide, teeter and tumble, all without injury. They may look awkward, and pantomime pain as part of their sketch, but they are skilled performers. This means that a clown must be trained and prepared.

A gymnastic clown, for example, should be a gymnast and a good one at that. Other clowns may not require intensive training like a gymnast, but they should take their roles seriously, study them carefully, perfecting actions and timing so that the success of the performance is guaranteed.
