ARTIST OPPORTUNITY
“The Third First Ever Annual Great Big Upstate Clown and Move Around Weekend Retreat” at NACL
It’s back! For the third year in a row, join Christopher Bayes (Clown and what not) and Annie Piper (Body, Breath, Heart: Energy Practice for Actors) for a little pagan mess around over Indigenous Peoples’ Day weekend at NACL.
Meet in beautiful upstate New York this fall (less than two hours from the GWB) for a weekend intensive of movement, play, and audacity. Stay in a charming old boarding house! Work in an old church by a lake! Spend a few days with some Master Teachers from The David Geffen School of Drama at Yale (formerly The Yale School of Drama)!
Take a breath, eat some yummy food, make some new friends, and surprise yourself! Space is limited, so sign up now to save your spot.

Arrive on the evening of Friday, October 10th for dinner, then jump into class the next morning. Head back to the city after breakfast and a morning class on Monday, October 13th, all nice and unwound from your wild weekend mess around.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be provided onsite at NACL, including dinner on the evening of the 1st. Meals are included in all tuition options.
Accommodation options include single or shared rooms at NACL. If you would prefer to find local housing and/or your own accommodations outside of NACL — or if you live nearby and want to join in the fun — choose the tuition option just for class fees and meals.
