A Rich & In-Depth Experience
In-Depth Clowning Workshops :
Bridging Theory and Practice for the Modern Performer
In an ever-evolving landscape of the performing arts, the ancient art of clowning is a crucial pedagogical tool for actors and performers across disciplines. We delve into the rich history and philosophy of clowning, tracing its roots from the comedic performances of ancient civilizations to its modern incarnations in theater, film, and beyond.
These intensives are specifically designed for higher education institutions such as Universities, Drama schools, and Film schools. These courses are a comprehensive exploration of clowning that integrates both theoretical foundations and hands-on practical experiences.
To practice and apply, we put these concepts on the stage with rigor and honesty. And then go beyond to make clowning for the future.
