BOOK YOUR SPOT
Clown & the Body 

A physical approach to finding and creating your individual clownesque body via every day phenomena like materials, object and animal work.
 
Engaging your body in a state of play and action, this 2-day weekend workshop is designed to stretch your awareness of your physical presence and its playful possibilities. We will crack your body open like a beautifool little flower searching for the clown state – from the poetic to the grotesque, bringing the clown’s body to a state of readiness: aware of rhythm, space and breath.
​

In two days we will explore: 
  • Introduction to the petit mask the red nose - explore the poetic body as a mask and as one giant muscle of creative expression.
  • Discover physical dramatic tensions and how we can endow these to the clown
  • Look at the relationship with the public and the pleasure of sharing.
  • Explore phenomena like the elements, objects and animals as a basis to creating the clown body
  • Lots of laughter.
​Suitable for:
  • Open to all levels.
  • Beginner and professional improvisers, stand ups, comedians, circus and theatre performance makers, actors and artists practicing the art of clowning
Notes:
  • Wear comfortable neutral coloured clothing and soft shoes to move in.
  • Bring a bottle of water.
  • Arrive with an open mind and heart.
