" Laughter is the shortest distance between two people" - Victor Borge. Come and explore and an introduction to clown theatre. In this 2 hr workshop we will explore the techniques of performing clown, including how to create routines, working with an audience, stage presence, clown relationships, creative freedom, impulse work and more.
Clown is not about witty ideas but more about being open and human, whilst exploring chaos, fantasy and naivety.
Be prepared to laugh ... a lot!
