College Program Teaches
Fundamentals Of Clowning
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -
To be a clown, you’ve got to
feel good .inside,” says amateur,
clown Art Stettler.,
That’s the only "require-
ment" for a 10-night course he
teaches once a week to pros-
pective clowns, through Ohio
State University’s Creative Arts
Program.
Stettler, a 14-year veteran of
the local Aladdin Shrine
group’s clown unit, says his ap-
proach to clowning is simple:
You've got to want to make
people happy.
By doing this, you get an in-
ner satisfaction. You give
child a balloon and a sucker as
a 'normal' person, and maybe
you get a 'thank you.' But do it
as a clown, and you get them
to light up all over."
. He .cautions students, how-
ever, "Not all children are re-
ceptive to clown's. You must
never try to force yourself on a
child."
■New-students first must de-
cide from "looking around
them" what kind of, clown
they'd like.to be.
Next, they "find out if their
faciaf expressions ^ would" surf
this," Stettler 'says. Stettler s
own clown makeup was in-
spired by a face he saw many
years ago on a can of fruit
juice.
Students in the course learn
She has already donned
makeup and costume to enter-
tain a class of handicapped
children her mother teaches in
Dayton, arid she plans to per-
form at birthday parties for
neighborhood children
Stettler, a car retarder oper-
ator with Conrail for 36 years,
got his own training in those
■same clowning .techniques
through the Aladdin clowns.

Greece 57 years ago, wrote a

For a clown, making up is
not . just putting something on
and seeing how it comes out,"
Stettler emphasizes. There are
specific types of clown roles:
the always-happy white face,
the august clown (who can be
-happy or sad, using a basic
suntan makeup with color
around the mouth and eyes
only) and the tramp clown.
