“Clown...or Creating Character using Play, Physicality, and Poetry” In this workshop participants begin to awaken and encourage a sense of play, an awareness of the audience, and an honest physical and emotional response to internal impulses and external events. The workshop is geared to expand the participant’s experience of perception and focus. The body (through specific movement exercises) is approached as a source of visualization for character or story elements through improvisations. Throughout this workshop, the rules of Clown emerge giving the participant a fundamental understanding of Clown and a deeper experience of the elements at play in any performance situation.
