A Master Class in Clown: Skill Integration with The Submarine Show
Byrd Productions in collaboration with the Kansas City Fringe Festival is delighted to present:
A Master Class in Clown: Skill Integration with The Submarine Show
Can you burp the alphabet, sing opera, play the kazoo, decorate a cake, solve a rubics cube, fold a paper crane, dance ballet on point, stand on one hand, or make fart sounds in your arm pit? Any skill can be a vehicle for narrative. This master class in physical theatre, lead by former Cirque du Soleil performer Jaron Hollander and Emmy Award winner Slater Penney, explores how tricks and narrative can be combined to create truly virtuosic performances.
At the Just Off Broadway Theater, 3051 Central, KCMO 64108 10:00 - noon Saturday, July 26th $30 - Tickets available soon! FIND THIS EVENT ON FACEBOOK!

Jaron Hollander, International Circus Artist and native to the east bay, has many titles including Clown, Acrobat, Aerialist, Actor, Director, Coach, Master Teacher and Artistic Director. Jaron has been performing professionally for 32 years, a fact that is even more impressive considering he is only 40 years old. He has spent the interim time performing around the world with many companies including Cirque Du Soleil, Make*A*Circus and Flynn Creek Circus. He has made quite a mark in Northern California's performing arts scene as a Co-founder of both Berkeley's Impact Theatre and Mendocino's Flynn Creek Circus. Jaron is known as an accomplished teacher having taught theatre and circus arts all over the bay area at well known schools including the Clown Conservatory, Cal Shakes and Berkeley Repertory's Theatre School, Sacramento Theatre Company and Splash Circus just to name a few.
For Slater Penney, variety is the spice of life. He is a national and international award winning performing artist, choreographer and instructor, his biggest award being an Emmy in 2001 for work as a motion capture specialist with Tech TV. He graduated from UC Santa Cruz in the Theatre Arts, studied circus in San Francisco and Oakland, and furthered his professional training at the Dell'Arte International School of Physical Theatre. Slater has performed and toured with Gamelan X, Make*A*Circus, Lunatique Fantastique, and The Crucible's Fire Operas. He has two devised works of physical theatre: "Le Projet Migration," with his wife Christine Germain, and "The Submarine Show," with Jaron Hollander. He's excelled as a teacher, including the San Francisco Circus Center, Marin Theatre Company, the Berkeley Rep school of Theatre, and the Kinetic Arts Center in his credits. He is now Preschool Director at Luna Gymnastics, offers classes and private lessons at the Berkeley Rep School of Theatre, and performs as often as is possible.
