I am pleased to announce the next clown workshop I shall be teaching in London. Hope to see you there.
Clown Workshop
19th and 20th March 2011
10am-5pm
£150
at Chats Palace
42-44, Brooksby's Walk,
Homerton,
London E9 6DF
(5 minutes walk from Homerton Overground station)
For two days we will live intensively the world of the clown, regaining the pleasure of play, learning to feel and enjoy our own ridiculousness. Converting our habitual fear of ridicule into pleasure of laughing at ourselves, we can use it to make others laugh and experience the freedom of the clown.
When you really look, most things are ridiculous: our bodies, our movements, our ideas, our emotions, our words, our relationships, the universe. The only aim in clowning is to turn failure into success, fear into laughter, suffering into joy. We don’t need to change ourselves, just look at everything from another perspective. It’s a human thing to do, so anyone can do it. Although only a few will choose to dedicate their lives to it, anyone can experience the clown.
This workshops serves both as an excellent introduction to clown, and as an opportunity to refine your clowning. It is also a taster for those considering studying on our longer courses at the Escola de Clown de Barcelona (the cost of a weekend includes the right to a €100 discount on a one- or two-month residential course at the Escola de Clown). This is one of a series of clown workshops being held around the world, organised by the Escola de Clown de Barcelona and taught by Jon Davison and Clara Cenoz. Other venues will include: Barcelona, Madrid, Girona, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Milan, Berlin, St. Petersburg, Lisbon, Ljubljana, Belgrade, Bucharest, Budapest and more. Details to be announced. If you would like to organize a clown workshop near you, please send an email to jon@escoladeclown.eu
