PEOPLE ARE SAYING...
" In just one 3-hour clown workshop with Kendall Cornell, I learned how to play seriously, ... enjoy being foolish, sexy, silly, brave, coy, loud, etc.
.... Her gentle yet challenging guidance pushed me to the edge to see, feel, be the absurd but always optimistic clown. Thanks for a truly awakening
experience!" -- Christine B.
" ... In a mixed group of professionals and beginners, Kendall created an atmosphere in which we were all able to explore the serious, zany heart of the clown.... Best of all, when the workshop was over, I felt as if I had been introduced to myself freshly, and after living with me for sixty years, that was quite a treat!" -- Joan M.
"Kendall is a resourceful, imaginative and tactful teacher of clown. She has the means to create an open and judgement-free atmosphere where learning is fun and happens in an organic manner. ....I can promise you will laugh a lot!" -- Yvette F.
"... In the workshop, Kendall keeps things moving so fast that there isn't time to be nervous or censor what you are doing. I found myself making choices and taking actions my overthinking self would not typically execute. I pushed my limits for two days and it was very exciting." -- Kelly H.
"I was looking for a safe play space, a lot of fun, a great way to get back into my body as an actor, and a teacher who would help me continue to find my unique expression. Kendall Cornell's Clown Workshop is where I found all of the above!" ---Deepa P.
"...The way Kendall was able to find the truth of what was going on in each person at that moment and have it turn it into something hysterical was a great experience." -- Jennifer M.
"Kendall created a fun and safe atmosphere where I could easily access my inner clown and let her out to play. All participants in the class created
delightful red-nosed beings that were a joy to behold. The workshop was a profound, freeing, hysterical, moving and mind-opening experience." -- Cindy C.
