A workshop on clowning by embracing all your YOUs.
A wholesome, intensive workshop in which you will embark on an inward journey with tools that help you access the IDIOTIC, FOOLISH nature to bring forth your own CLOWN that is uniquely YOU!
The words: clown, fool, idiot, stupid, and Eccentric (away from the center) are used almost in the same sense, but Does clowning mean behaving like a fool? Is a clown solely defined by face paint, baggy clothes, or quirky gestures? The answer is a resounding NO! Then what Exactly is Clowning?
If a quiet pause brings a yes to your heart, read on to learn more about the workshop.
Clowning is a form of physical theater, but its scope extends far beyond mere physicality. The iconic red nose, the tiniest of masks, grants us permission to embrace our humanity, creating a primal connection with ourselves and our fellow beings. Moreover, it imparts the invaluable lessons of being present and attuned to our surroundings and audience. By embracing vulnerability and imperfection, we grow at ease with our own quirks, fostering an authenticity that transcends into diverse areas of our lives.
This workshop offers a teeny-tiny historical journey through clowning, exploring its roles in circuses, various cultures, and Western theater, shedding light on the WHATs and WHYs of our endeavors. Questions like the significance of the Red Nose, the purpose of baggy costumes, the concept of clown status, and the art of crafting a clown performance will be addressed.
It's crucial to understand that clowning isn't mere acting or mimicking clowns. Rooted in comedy, it equips actors and performers with impeccable timing, humor, and the versatility to excel in both comedic and dramatic roles. However, Clowning is a realm of discovery, ideal for Everyone who is curious about exploring physical comedy, shedding inhibitions to embrace humor in a safe, nonjudgmental space.
So, If you're ready to laugh heartily and embrace the unexpected, then this workshop is for YOU. Join us on this exhilarating journey into the world of clowning, where the foolish and the authentic collide to create something truly magical.
