Herma Nootics, the Clown: An Idiosyncratic History of Circus Clowning
Jan 10, 2013, 6:00PM to 8:00PM
| Location | 38 West 86th Street New York, NY |
| Cost | $20, $15 |
| Details | Circus lives in physical truth, theater in emotional truth. Ideally a circus clown combines both. However, a clown’s work is habitually obscured in cultural cliché and sentimental images. In this lecture, David Carlyon will discuss once-famous clowns, including Dan Rice, Emmett Kelly, and Otto Griebling, as he explores the reciprocal relationships between clowns and their culture. David Carlyon is a historian who was a Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus clown. He serves on the New York Council for the Humanities Speakers Bureau and wrote Dan Rice: The Most Famous Man You’ve Never Heard Of. |
