Classes will be held five days each week, 10am–6pm, Monday thru Friday, totalling 120 hours. On Saturdays students will be in the media rooms to attend special viewing assignments of films and videos. In addition, each student will receive a one-on-one session with a master teacher.

These performances will be open to the general public.
If you are interested in attending the Nouveau Clown Institute's "Clown Master Class and Comic Formulas" March, 2010 session then visit our web site at clownfish.es/nci.htm, where you will find detailed information and the official form to apply for acceptance to the NCI. Registration closes January 31, 2010.
The master class instructors confirmed at the moment are: John Towsen, Pepa Plana, Alex Navarro, Pat Cashin, Mag Lari, Giovanna Bellina, Eric de Bont, Rick Parets, Jorge Pico, Loco Brusca, Grada Peskens, Jef Johnson, Jango Edwards, Monti, Tortell Poltrona, Christian Atanasiu, and Jordi Purti. Additional faculty members for the March session will be announced in the near future.
Also we suggest you do a little research about the artists who will be your instructors during the March session so you have a basic knowledge of their approach to the clown art. Those of you who have clown or comedy routines, stage acts, or numbers that you would like to perform in the weekly "Cabaret Cabron" productions, please bring those items required to present your act including music, props, and costumes. A maximum of no more than three acts from your repertory is advised. We also recommend that you bring any audio/video material of your work that can be viewed by us to assist us in directing you. In addition to the in-class sessions you will receive selected data based materials. It is mandatory that you bring with you a pen drive or memory stick in which this data can be stored. This information will be a useful reference in the future once you have successfully completed the master class and graduated from the Nouveau Clown Institute… that is if you graduate!
Finally and most importantly of all it is the wish of the NCI staff to make your visit as creative, productive, and inspiring as possible. To achieve this we remind you that the Nouveau Clown Institute is an educational institution of the highest standards and if you come with open mind and open heart then we will open the door for you to a new future. The concept of this school is that it is a school for all professional clowns to learn, teach, and exchange among each other and second that new actors who are interested can come and have direct contact with master instructors besides each day an exposure to assorted production, skills, technique and an understanding of the comic formulas that make comedy and clowning function in all environments. This school belongs to all members of the Nouveau Clown community. It is the desire of NCI to function as a launching pad for actors to become familiar with the variety of clown artists and schools that specialize in comedy and the art of clown.
