CLOWN WORKSHOPS

The Clown journey starts when you let yourself immerse into the unknown aspects

of your personality. When you experience imbalance situations and connect with

the untamed Other within yourself.

Epic Imbalance: 3 days Intensive Clown Workshop

Looking for your own clown is a personal journey. A spiritual journey inside out.

A journey of discoveringthe untamed Other within yourselves who deeply enjoys failing and the chaotic, unpredictable nature of life.

A journey that invites you to contact and start a dialogue with this Other within yourself, to enrich your creative potential, celebrating and integrating the strange,untamed and sublime. Clown journey starts when you let yourself immerse into the Unknown, when you give yourself the permission to experience off-balance and walk into emptiness. It is when you connect with your transparent state of being when your clown appears.
Clown is a big hero/in following his/her/its impulses and eager to find his/her/its own unique solution for any problem that emerges through his/her poetic journey. Being playful, existing in the HERE and the NOW, pregnant to full of surprises for us and for oneself.

Clown is doing everything with pleasure and a sense of joy even when sometimes it’s not pleasant!

In this workshop we will develop the ability of accepting chaos, failure and the completely

unknown as vital elements within our creative process.

We will awake our bodies, our playfulness, our awareness, our
simplicity and we will free ourselves from fears and judgments through games, movement,
improvisations, relaxation exersises, rythm exersises, method of 3 sec and collective singing.

It’s a creative process of bringing out our hidden, unlived qualities and creating 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.

International Clown Residency

8 days

The Clown Residency is open to all experience levels or anyone interested in
exploring their creative potential and new ways of expression.

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 and collective singing.

The red nose, which is the smallest mask in the world,

will guide the individual clowns to emerge.

We start working with each participant alone on stage and with the group on rhythm,
playfulness and joy. Then guide them to discover the way of creating a clown costume and make the first
step of creating a clown character while we continue with different improvisations. We will continue with duos and trios. Clown’s communication, listening of the space, relationship with audience, developing a
common action and go deep into action on stage.
