PulsePDX
3602 Northeast Sandy BoulevardALL ARE WELCOME. (No experience necessary.)
The summer solstice is upon us: a call to action, a call to energize, a call to sweat.
What happens when movement becomes connection? When we let our bodies lead? When we let ourselves be seen in both joy and struggle?
Let’s play and find out!
The clown is often asked to do seemingly impossible tasks and approaches them all with wonder, curiosity and enthusiasm. We build heat so we can hold it in our bodies in stillness, a coiled spring of energy, ready to explode with the next step.
Next in the 90-minute, somatic, guided, immersive series that started with i am your mother now: an immersive clown rebirth and surrender to mother: an immersive clown ego death, HOT MOTHER SUMMER will guide you into communal energy in this Fire Horse (double fire!) year when our ability to act is needed more than ever.
Please wear layers that are comfortable for both stillness and movement. Bring a water bottle (refilling station available).
If you are interested in hearing first about these and other future offerings, please join Anne Zander’s mailing list here.
Clown Mother (Anne Zander - she/her) is a queer, neurodivergent mother, clown, character creator and a "completely ridiculous... completely vulnerable" international touring artist whose two solo shows - "MOTHER" and "JUICEBOX" - have brought audiences to laughter and tears from coast to coast (BroadwayWorld). She will hold you in her (figurative) mother's embrace before pushing you right out of the nest.
DJ Dave Basement (David Wester - he/him) is a morbidly hilarious sketch writer/performer, professional film editor and certified "Genius of Comedy" (Portland Mercury) who is also gifted at sound and light design. His sonic and visual support will lift you out of the world you are familiar with and into a land without ascribed meaning.
PulsePDX is an ADA Accessible, mirror-free, club-lit, deeply inclusive dance fitness studio that is large enough for 50+ students! Their philosophy is that movement is for all bodies, ought to seem like a reward and not a punishment, should be fun and feel good, brings people together, benefits more than just the body, and is better with mirror balls. This event is not part of Pulse's offerings, but we stand with their mission and encourage you to check out their classes!

Clown Mother Productions (CMP) lives at the intersection of the grotesque and the beautiful, the vulnerable and the powerful, the fringe and the familiar. Our mission is to dissolve barriers between audience and performers, shine laughter into the dark corners of the human experience, and create a space where we may heal through the art of comedy.
