7-8 December | 10:00 AM TO 2:00 PM | 4 hours on both days We all want to fit the standard of being "someone". Being Bad is a course in reverse - a course in which you discover who you are, not what you are supposed to be. There, deep in our hearts, there is a core of you - some of us manage to save it, but many times we forget about what once, a long time ago, was our essence - the joy of life, innocence, childlike delight and naivety. All of these qualities are inherent to creativity. This workshop helps you connect with this creativity and discover the pleasure of being yourself when everyone is looking at you. Sounds scary? Only a bit, but mostly it is pure fun. Who is this for? As a rule, the course is for people who work with creativity and human emotions on a daily basis - improvisers, actors, circus performers, singers, directors, magicians, writers, therapists, and musicians. In practice - for everyone who is looking for authenticity, freedom to be yourself, no matter what, and is curious about the world. What will we actually do? We will work on how to use our real emotions to enrich our stage skills, how to play with them on stage, maintain eye contact with the audience and how to be sensitive to the energy of our show, and how to discover comedy using the body. We will explore this using various games and activities, and although they are demanding, they are fun. The exercises are a series of ridiculous situations in which you will potentially experience multiple failures. The participant's task is to play with 100% of their ability to be funny and beautiful. This leads to many failures and situations in which you are not funny at all - and this is where we will discover our creativity. The workshop aims to learn how to better make friends with our lack of being perfect, the part of us that is completely unfunny and funny, and learn to play with this imperfection, to use failure as a beautiful gift from the world. It is important for me to create a very safe and supportive atmosphere in which you can easily open up about all these seemingly very difficult topics. The course is intended to familiarize you with being yourself on stage and taking more risks both on stage and in life. A bit like learning to fall - when you know how to fall - you risk more, make different moves, and increase the range of your possibilities. It's the same with Poetry of Stupidity - through seemingly embarrassing practice situations, you learn exceptional stage and life sensitivity. You will learn that the most interesting things are when you don't know.
