TERRIBLE CLASSES

Hey you -

Are you a person on an activity board at an educational institute? Do you like physical comedy? Looking for unique entertainment for your student body? We can help!

Bonnie He is one of few Asian American women performing the art of physical comedy. When people think about physical comedians, these undisputed greats come to mind: Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Mr. Bean, Lucille Ball, Laurel & Hardy and Benny Hill. Unfortunately the majority of those listed are white, male and pretty dead. Bonnie would love to showcase the physical comedy artform from a non-traditional perspective: Asian, female and mostly alive.

Besides being an award-winning performer, Bonnie is also an educator, as the resident clowning instructor for Company of Angels, the longest running not-for-profit repertory theater in Los Angeles, founded by Leonard Nimoy, and for East West Players, the most prestigious Asian American theater company in America, founded by James Hong.

How about getting Bonnie to conduct a clowning workshop for students - focusing on being authentically present, building good stage presence, and embracing failure (a privilege that is not normally afforded to people of color).
