About the Project
Rose is a queer, charismatic & deeply compassionate clown who has created a sanctuary for LGBTQ individuals and others in marginalized communities: Fool School Clown Class, a six-week course that she developed with legendary clown Jango Edwards. While most of the students aren’t aspiring to become professional clowns, many come seeking a way to break through fear, isolation, and personal struggle. In Rose’s classroom, vulnerability is embraced, barriers are broken down and laughter becomes a driving force for transformation. This film will intimately follow Rose and her students on a journey of self-discovery that culminates in the spotlight of a final stage: "The Cabaret".
