Whatever the culture of the clown, the spirit of the clown is essentially the same. The clown creates order through disorder; the clown is the maestro of mistakes; the clown turns the world upside down and renews our vision.
In this workshop we will experiment with physical clown character work to loosen up, lighten up and keep us laughing. We will transform objects, play with space and sound, and explore clowning with theatre skills like mime, storytelling, and play-making.
