with Vivian Gladwell
An intensive week for advanced clowns limited to 6 participants. The course will enable each participant to explore in depth less familiar aspects of clowning with the intention of freeing their clown’s playfulness, creativity and risk taking.
This means one-to-one improvisations with feedback for each participant.
Possible areas of exploration are:
- Rhythm
- The clown’s relation to role and character
- Working with paradox and conflict
- Working with the audience
- Acting versus not acting
- Authenticity
- Pleasure
- The Narrative structure
- Chaos
- The subversive clown
- Surrealism and the absurd
- Tragedy
- Poetry
- … and other discoveries
Prerequisites for the course are Clown level 1 and 2.
