This is a workshop for beginners who’d like to dip their toe in to the world of clown. It will include fun exercises as an introduction to some of the core principles of clowning. Dan creates a supportive environment for you to explore the world of play and silliness.
As humans beings we are all fallible and it is this imperfection that gives us our humanity. We are conditioned to always be good and hide our mistakes and faults. Conversely the clown finds pleasure in being bad and does not disguise anything, as a result he finds freedom from the normal constraints imposed on us, in our day-to-day lives. By embodying the true idiotic self, with optimism and sensitivity, we can find freedom on stage, opening up the imagination to find a place of infinite possibilities for laughter and play.
"Dan creates a beautifully playful and safe environment" Stephen Sobal, Artistic Director of All In Theatre.
"The workshop was exhilarating and fun" Andrea Spisto, Infinite Experience Arts Company
"Dan is the real deal" Phillip Burgers, Dr Brown
