Title* ⏵ Brand/Night Optional brand or night name to link to other events under the same name Description* This is a workshop for beginners who are curious about clowning. Ideal for improvisors, stand ups or indeed anyone who is curious to learn some basic principles of clown. It will include fun and engaging exercises as an introduction to some of the core principles of clowning. 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 Ticketed event?* Ticketed Does this event have tickets?
