“Extreme Joey was exactly what I needed. Jan creates a space where anything can happen and everything’s freeing and joy filled! Take this course - it’ll change your life positively in ways you can’t even imagine.”
“Jan’s Extreme Joey & Auguste workshop was one of the best experiences and trainings I have found. Explore the extremes in your self, find your power. This workshop is unlike anything you have taken before, and it is magical.”
In the European tradition of Clown duos, the clever, confident leader is called the Joey, and the lovable, bumbling follower is called the Auguste. Your Core Clown may identify more as one than the other, but every clown persona contains a fluid mixture of both energies.
Dare to be Fabulous as your Powerful Extreme Joey:
• High-Status, Gorgeous, Sexy
• Minions falling over themselves to Wait on You
• Absolute Selfishness, Beauty and Power - without Guilt
• Unbounded Self-Trust
• Limitless Stage Presence
Dare to Fail Magnificently as your Lovable Extreme Auguste:
• All Heart - always in Joy or Heartbreak, Panic or Bliss
• Living to Play and to Please
• Innocent, Gullible, Impulsive, Digressive
• Creating Endless Problems and Glorious Mistakes
Working in duos, you’ll experience the rich material that flows from the Extreme Joey & Auguste relationship.
