Each session is conducted by a team of 15 international master instructors. The team will be changed for each of the one-month sessions to insure every class is completely unique in content, instruction and information.
Classes will be held five days each week from 10am to 6pm, Monday to Friday, totalling 120 hours. On Saturdays, actors in training will be in the media rooms to attend special viewing assignments of films and videos.

If you are interested in attending one or more of the Nouveau Clown Institute's Clown Master Class and Comic Formulas 2010–2011 series, then visit our web site at nouveauclown.com. Here you will find information and the official form to apply for acceptance to the N.C.I. You can also ask for the application form from nouveauclown@gmail.com.
We suggest you do a little research about the artists who will be your instructors during the sessions you have choosen, 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 Cabrón 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 a mandatory request 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 N.C.I. 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. If you come with open mind and heart, then we will open the door for you to a new future.
N.C.I. is a school for professional clowns to learn, teach, and exchange among each other; a school where new actors have the opportunity for direct contact with master instructors and a daily exposure to assorted technique and production skills, and an understanding of the comic formulas that make comedy and clowning function in all environments.
