Suitable for intermediate to advanced improvisers or clowns. You do not need experience in both improv and clowning, but do need experience in at least one.
This workshop brings the weird and wonderful world of clowning into improvised comedy. We take clowning and improv exercises that help us develop a more playful and responsive style to our performance. As well as exploring show formats that could be taken to the stage.
This workshop will help you:
- Bring more play, physicality and props into your improv
- Give the audience more of what they want by listening and responding to them more
- Be okay with breaking the rules in order to follow the fun
- Discover old and new improv show formats that benefit most from these techniques
We do this by looking at various concepts such as:
- Game
- The flop
- Fixed point
- Major / minor
- Audience sensitivity
- Breaking the rules
