My name is Cal Clements. I've lived in Athens, GA since 1968. I started in theater at the age of 11 with wonderful roles such as Oberon in A Midsummer Night's Dream. My favorite type of theater, however, is that which we call Clown. I like physical comedy, stillness, mystery, discovered games, and playful mischievousness.

​

Here's a really fast autobiography: I did a lot of theater as a child, I joined the Navy (not that fun), I went to art school (very fun), I ended up as an English major. After undergrad, I taught myself the saxophone and lived as a bohemian in a treehouse. I went back to school and earned a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature. I moved to California and became a librarian. I moved back to Georgia and made art. I opened a yoga studio called Rubber Soul and, in that space, produced many comic plays. My clown troupes were called The Terrible Tuba Band, The Sacred Pudding Society, The Extravagant Extravaganza, Silencio, The Thunder Dreamers, and The Flamboyance of Flamingos. I also trained yoga teachers, drove an 18-wheeler across the country, drove my vintage motor home to Mexico and back, and made cute ceramic art. Ok, so that's my overall story.
