I've taken nine classes here and John Fisher has been rude and condescending at every one of his classes - consisting talking down to students and creating a negative learning environment. He may be an expert and good at his craft, but an expert does not make a good teacher. Would not recommend this place to others.

I constantly felt pressured to take extra classes that I didn't need. It felt less like guidance and more like being pushed to spend more money which is something a scamming business would do. The communication was uncomfortable, and interactions often felt confrontational because of his attitude instead of being supportive. Instead of feeling encouraged to grow, I felt like I was walking on eggshells.

One of the highlights was learning how to make mini cheesecakes using walnuts and tofu. I never imagined something so simple and wholesome could taste that good. They came out creamy, perfectly sweet, and honestly better than most dairy versions I've had. The instructor was so sweet, warm, patient, and really knowledgeable. They explained the why behind each technique, which made the whole experience feel empowering instead of intimidating. I walked out feeling inspired and excited to try more plant-based dishes at home. If you're looking for a class that's approachable, delicious, and actually teaches you skills you'll use, Radical Cooks is the place. Highly recommend! I'm not even vegan/vegetarian and I loved it!!

Our experience at Renaissance Arts has been really good. This school is different, and personally,…read moreI am thankful. My son told me, "There are no bullies at Ren Arts". I can see why. The staff is strict and they somehow manage to do what our previous school was not able to do - keep the kids feeling safe. When my kids started, I sat in on many of the classes to help one of my kids adjust. Almost every day for a year I went to the first 2 classes. In a large 8am singing class meant (I imagine) to gather the kids together and provide structure while stragglers arrived, I watched the teacher nip every potential behavior problem in the bud with, "I hear someone talking. If someone is talking while X is asking a question, then we can't hear X's important question". Or, "If you aren't participating then we are missing your voice. We need your voice". Everything here is based on the idea of an ensemble. And the importance of the individual within the ensemble is stressed. The ensemble performances that they do twice a year are truly amazing. Imagine being thrown in with different groups of students in your school twice a year to perform. Part of the reason there is no bullying is that you bond with your fellow cast members. There are some overarching mission statements that you see over and over again that are unique and heartwarming. For example, although there are no tests, they have a lot of essays to write where the kids have the opportunity to express themselves. They are told that there is not right or wrong answer and they just want to hear their ideas. They are often asked to reflect on themes and the teachers don't feel like they have "the answer", but rather are excited to hear what the kids come up with. It feels like college level teaching. To me, this is exciting stuff! I sat in on a second grade humanities class and felt like I was in college: a group of 8 kids plus a teacher sat around the table and discussed King Lear. The kids had so much to say about the age-appropriate rendition of what they were reading. The school also has a social justice bent and the themes of their shows often reflects current events. One of the high school students told me that they read the constitution every year in high school and every time she finds something new. So yes, there is much here that is going to look different from your typical school. It functions differently and so the form will be inherently different. I feel that as long as the child is happy, that is the best gauge of the fit of the school. And my kids are happy here.

He has this rare ability to make you…read morefeel immediately comfortable while still pushing you to be better, and that combination is gold. His feedback is honest, and incredibly helpful, and always comes from a place of wanting to bring out the best in every actor. What really stands out is how much G clearly knows, his knowledge of the craft and how generously he shares that knowledge. He breaks things down in a way that actually clicks, and makes perfect sense, like "wow how could I have not thought about that ?" And you walk out of class feeling more confident, more focused, and genuinely inspired. On top of all that, he's got a seriously handsome, charismatic presence that makes the whole experience even more memorable. A true five-star class and an easy hands down YES recommendation !

I don't live in LA, so to be able to take ONLINE classes at the clown school has been one of the…read moretrue perks coming out of this pandemic. This school has some outstanding teachers, and I noticed they often sat in each other's online classrooms. Such solidarity/dedication/pure love for the craft among faculty members is rarely seen elsewhere. I've taken two courses so far. The online format worked seamlessly, and both experiences exceeded my (gigantic) expectation. I'm not going to be a clown for living, but I'm certainly enjoying the guided exploration of comic psyche/movement/timing/musicality. I especially love how class discussions/exercises were led with incredible facilitation skill and care -- that alone is an art in itself. Apart from clowning classes, there are other classes exploring masterworks by renowned playwrights or develop one's original materials...the options seem eclectic, thoughtful, delightful. Create big headache regarding what to pick and choose, though. I want this pandemic to end immediately, but that might mean the Clown School will resume in-person instruction and stop offering online classes? Ahh, I don't know. I'll try to live fully today and stop worrying about tomorrow.

I had always been interested in clown school for a fun thing to do, and found this place online. I have now just finished level 2, and I have to say this was one of the best decisions I made in my life. I didn't know what to expect, but it wasn't what one thinks of when you think of clowns. There is no grease paint. We didn't take classes like "Seltzer Water 101" or "Pie in the Face through the Ages." As another reviewer said, this is clown in the European tradition. Think Bill Irwin or Sascha Baron Cohen. This was scary and frustrating at times, but it was also beautiful and fulfilling. The class was warm and inviting and we quickly became a family. I laughed so much, and I feel like I have grown as a person along the way. I could not recommend this more. Zach Steele is a masterful teacher. I plan on taking all the classes as soon as I can.

Overall, the pricing for the class is great, considering all the topics that are covered in the lessons. Also, the Camaro is great for beginners, especially if you get to the uphill driving portion.
