The clown journey starts when you immerse yourself into the unknown aspects of your personality, connecting with your untamed‘other’inside – the one who enjoys the chaotic and unpredictable nature of life.

 

The clown follows his/her impulses and is eager to find his/her own unique solution for any problem that emerges through his/her poetic journey. He/she is a playful being existing in the HERE and NOW, full of surprises for us and for himself/herself. The clown does everything with pleasure and a sense of joy!

In this workshop we will develop the ability to accept chaos, failure and the completely unknown as vital elements within our creative process. We will awaken our bodies, our playfulness, our awareness, our simplicity and we will free ourselves from fear and judgment through games, movement exercises, improvisation, method of three sec. and collective singing. We will bring out our hidden, unlived qualities and create a playful dialogue with them. The red nose ,which is the smallest mask in the world, will guide the individual clowns to emerge and we will work with their presence, projection, rhythm, costume and vital relationship with the audience.

In this workshop we will laugh and cry abundantly and this will help us in becoming “deeper” human beings and better artists!

“Think about yourself at least once in your life otherwise you may miss the best comedy in this world.”

Charlie Chaplin
