<p>Richard Pochinko (1946-89) played a pioneering role in North American clown theatre through the creation of an original pedagogy synthesizing modern European and indigenous Native American techniques. In <em>Clown Through Mask</em>, Veronica Coburn and onetime Pochinko apprentice Sue Morrison lay out the methodology of the Pochinko style of clowning and offer a bold philosophical framework for its interpretation. Morrison is today a leading teacher of Pochinko''s Clown through Mask technique and this book extends significantly the literature on this underdocumented form of theatre.</p>
