Overview: 


This workshop will explore clown through play, physicality and impulse. Through games, exercises and performance tasks, we'll look at how pleasure, openness and a willingness to be ridiculous can help us find what's uniquely funny about ourselves.
 

Drawing on physical comedy, mime and physical theatre, we'll look at the relationship between the body and impulse, and how following those impulses can open up new possibilities in the moment while keeping the audience at the centre of the work.
 

Who is this for?

This workshop is for clowns, comedians, improvisers, actors and performers who want to become more physically playful, responsive and connected to an audience.

No previous clown or mime experience is necessary.

​

What To Expect:

We’ll work through games, improvisations and short performance exercises exploring:
 

• physical impulse
• comic timing and rhythm
• character through movement
• mime and object play
• audience connection
• following an idea before you know where it is going

​

Outcome:
 

You will leave with a clearer sense of your own comic instincts and how physicality can help you generate, develop and sustain material in the moment.

Along with practical tools for making physical choices more decisive, following impulses further and keeping the audience at the centre of your play.
