You are a unique person with your own personality and abilities.  That makes you uniquely qualified as a clown to do something better than anyone else.  Using specific examples from his own career, Bruce will share with you some concepts that will enable you to come closer to your clown potential.  As your clown character and your performance material becomes an expression of your true personality you will make stronger, deeper connections with members of your audience.  In addition to learning general principles helping you become a more effective entertainer, you will learn practical bits that you can add to your own performances.

Magical Family Entertainment & There is Creativity in the Cards

April 29, 2008

Omaha, NE

During this three-hour session, Bruce will share with you his approach to being a family entertainer.  He considers this to be one of the most difficult entertainment specialties because of the variety of audience members.  To be a successful family entertainer you have to gain and maintain the respect and attention of adults and older children while at the same time keeping young children engaged and interested.  Also during this session, Bruce will use some card effects to demonstrate how to move from sleights to entertaining routines.  He will share with you how he has created some of his original routines helping you learn tools and techniques that you can use to create your own performance material.  Bring a deck of cards with you because Bruce will teach you hands-on the sleights that he uses, including his original Charlie Count.
