Oh wow BA. This edition gave me nerves just reading. SO BRAVE!!! I appreciate hearing about it all and I feel compelled to consider (zero commitment with this comment, btw) doing such a thing. How terrifying. The parts that made me most uncomfortable to hear about were the 'present yourself' and the 'suiting up' part - finding a clown suit. Visceral discomfort. And I'm not sure why the second thing felt weird for me - that was a surprise. Which makes me think you are onto something with this project re: stripping down to barebones vulnerability

Hey BA ...Csm here....I was playing alongside the first night and hated to miss the last part! I have done many of Britt’s sessions and you describe clown school so vividly and accurately...btw I find the butterflies come in every time. In clown, though, we get to just giggle as we watch them flutter about! Britt is indeed a master teacher and coach !

I love everything about this. Your words immerse me so fully in your experience. As a fellow introvert who suffers horrible stage fright I hold my heart in such admiration of your bravery, your vulnerability and your wit and clown spirit!

I 100% could never do clown school, just your write-up of it gave me anxiety. So good for you going way out of your comfort zone. You are very very brave.

I love the picture of you as vulnerable clown. And you’re so brave!

Well done! Clown school terrifies me. Not sure I could be so spectacularly vulnerable.
