Shereen Hickman is a physical comedienne, character actress, and improviser whose career spans Broadway, national tours, and three productions with Cirque du Soleil as their lead female clown, in Zumanity, Banana Shpeel, and Amaluna.

With decades of experience in physical comedy, clowning, and improvisation, Shereen invites adults to embrace their glorious imperfections, quiet their inner critic, and discover the freedom, surprise, and joy of play. Her classes celebrate curiosity, creative risk-taking, and the wonderfully ridiculous human experience.
