Item Description

Tony Award-winning actor, master clown, and comedian Bill Irwin will teach you the flips, the somersaults, and rolls that clowns make their hats do. Ever think it would make good after-dinner conversation to pull some of those moves out?  Do you have a screen-addicted kid in need of a new obsession?  This may be what you need. An original member of the Pickle Family Circus, Bill will give you a look at the long tradition of “hat moves” in the variety theatre, show you some things to strive for, then check back in with you a week or so later with a second session. It’s easier than it looks. It is addictive, and it’s very healthy. You are sure to learn more than a few skills from this MacArthur “Genius” Award winner who starred in WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF, created OLD HATS and FOOL MOONand whose film and TV credits range from “Sesame Street” to “Interstellar” to "Legion”.

Item Special Note

50-minute session, plus follow up. No hat needed to start — hat shopping tips provided.  Experience is non-resalable. Dates are subject to Mr. Irwin's availability and arrangements must be made at least three weeks in advance.
