Clown & Gender in Comedy Workshop
Posted October 20, 2005
CO-ED CLOWNING (oh my!)
A CLOWN and GENDER-in-COMEDY WORKSHOP
Have you had enough good belly laughs lately? Taken enough risks onstage? Really enjoyed feeling foolish? Perhaps a little clowning....
"Sometimes you have to play a long time to be able to play like yourself." – Miles Davis
Find the vulnerability, the freedom, and the physical vitality of the clown,
Practice playing well with the Others,
Explore the inherent humor of your gender,
Claim your most Daring sense of humor, and . . .
Laugh 'til you pee!
In this two- day workshop for men and women (clowns, actresses, actors, dancers, and all other adventurous performers), we will explore:
play, spontaneity & imagination,
sex roles and status,
full-bodied character,
dynamic relationship with audience,
physicalizing gender in movement and space,
comic timing,
clown psychology,
and more...
Saturday OCTOBER, 29th 1-4 pm
