Workshop Cost: Sliding Scale ($45-$60)
Some clowns don’t speak. Some can’t help but run their mouths.
In this experimental clown/improv workshop, we will explore absurd language as an avenue for discovery. Through clowning games and improvisational exercises that use invented words, dubbing, translation, babbling, and sound effects, we will explore what special kinds of fun can emerge when we turn our legibility down to level zero while keeping our dignity turned up to level 10. How fun can it be to make no sense?
All are welcome! No clowning experience required. Participants will be given on-the-fly feedback throughout the workshop, while also being asked to work quickly and embrace moments of uncertainty—so the more ready you are to dive in, the more we can play, fail, and discover together as a group. Come mess around!
