TnT University

At TnT Clown University we are constantly looking for ways to improve and further clown education. In 2009 we went to an intensive track teaching program and it was well received. In this new teaching program, the students attended the same track daily and learned more information on a specific area of clowning covered in the track than the student could have learned in a 1 – 2 hour class.

In 2010 we took it a bit farther. The program was so well received that we are going to continue it into the future. We are continuing with the intensive track format with a few adjustments in staff and curriculum. The tracks run 5 days and there is a test, yes I said a test, at the end of the course to see if the student learned the material. Upon passing the test the student are called proficient in that area of study.

An Associate Degree in Clown Arts is obtainable in two ways.  Anyone who has been clowning for 3 years or more can take the test.  The Associate Degree will be awarded after this test is passed.  Anyone who has been clowning for less than three years will need to take the class, pass the test and receive the Associate Degree in Clown Arts.

After the Associate Degree has been earned then you may move on to any other track you wish. When you take one track and pass the test you will receive a Bachelors Degree in Clown Arts in that area of study. When you have taken 2 more tracks and passed their tests (a total of 3 tracks plus the basic track) you will receive a Masters Degree in Clown Arts. Once you have taken 2 additional tracks and passed their test and shown you have proficiency in Face Painting (be able to paint at least 5 different designs), Ballooning (to twist at least 5 different balloon designs) and Skills (to possess at least 2 skill, such as plate spinning, Juggling, Stilt walking or any other skill) you will receive a Doctors Degree in Clown Arts.

Upon completing 6 of the tracks And achieving your Doctorates Degree you can continue your Clown Arts education and receive a Graduate Degree in Clown Arts for each year you complete your study.
