Versova, Mumbai Clowning is performance art form that involves exploring exaggerated emotions, movement and characters. In this workshop we will use ridiculously fun exercises to connect more with the self and learn how to not act, on stage and off stage. We will also focus on breaking our shell to achieve full freedom of physical expression. It is geared towards bringing authenticity to our work as actors. * Discover physical freedom & vulnerability * Strip the layers which make us ACT rather than BE * Unleash instinctual brilliance, sans judgement * Explore Death-Defying Daredevilry in performance * Turn your flops into cinema gold * Have more FUN than a barrel of monkeys at a banana buffet!
