CLOWNING – EXPLORING THE POETRY OF ACTION – AMSTERDAM

Monday 17 October - Friday 21 October 2016
Starts 09:30 on first day - Finishes 12:30 on last day


CIRCUS WERKPLAATS BOOST – AMSTERDAM

Clown level 1 & 2 (course in English)

This course offers an exploration of clowning with a focus on voice, silence, musicality, rhythm, movement and space. Beginners and confirmed clowns are welcomed. The purpose of the week is to look at ways in which we can free ourselves from speaking too much when we are on stage. For this we need to trust our voices and our physical bodies to guide us.

This course will offer both an introduction to clowning (with a specific focus on not speaking) AND will also be useful for experienced clowns who wish to deepen their understanding of clowning.

The teaching method will emphasise finding greater insights into the techniques of improvisation and performance, providing enough challenges and inspiration to take your understanding of this work forward.
