JANGO
EDWARDS – USA / Holand
Luckily, this applies equally to women. I was born a clown,
but was taught how to be a businessman and, at 18 years old,
I was well on the road to the American dream as a landscape
gardener; selling grass to rich people. However in my case,
cultural influences and the noble process of education were
not 100% successful. Traces of the child clown still remained
and I realized that it was still possible to have my own dream.
My private life and public life are constantly intertwined.
When I play the clown, I am the clown and vice versa. And remember,
that clowns are lot of laughs, but bad in bed. |

His belief and the experience of his own life, is: it’s never

Jango
Edwards Clown Theory
Essential
for students and professionals in all areas of theater and
entertainment, that will help you to reflect the world around
you, and eventually communicate to an audience at a simpler,
more direct level. It will not be a development of what
you may have learnt, but a ‘back-to-basics’ that will allow
the growth of learning to flower. Comedy is the root of
communication - communication is the root of theater. If
an audience is laughing, they are also watching and listening.
Clown Theory ‘feels’ good. And it’s simple - simplicity
is the essence - it’s the simplicity that is very difficult.

"A
man is born a clown and can become a clown again, if he
is able to remember
everything that he has forgotten. Luckily, this applies
equally to women. ”
