Play with all Things: An Intro to Theatrical Clowing with Kristen Schier

Find out how to use yourself and everything around you as a vehicle for pure play, and spontaneous theater. In front of an audience we can sometimes close ourselves off. We prevent ourselves from following our joy. Daring to be seen by the audience at every moment, will, in turn, reveal a whole world available for play. Allowing yourself to be explosed will open you up to celebrating your own stupidity, interacting with the audience and taking more risks. This workshop is perfect for those interested in unlocking playfulness, becoming more aware of how they are perceived by an audience, an danyone interested in clowining or developing solo work.

For participants: Please wear dark colored clothing that you can move in, without patterns or logos. No flip flops or heels please. You are welcome to go barefoot. We will be looking at the way the body moves, so we don't want the eye drawn to or distracted by the clothing, or the way you walk radically influcenced by your footwear.
