ClownLAberlin '23 - '24
What is the Clown? What attracts us to the Clown?
What is expected from a Clown?
There are many ways to approach the Clown and I suggest to try as many as possible until you find your own way; even if curiosity pushes the human being to always discover new ways, at a certain point you realize that there is a main road.
More than a road, one can speak of a universe of universes, and this is not a metaphor; those who have already tackled this research with me already know this.
There is a place where everything is possible and this is that inner place that generates its own Clown, a magical place where the mind stops being only-mind, the body takes body and the heart starts beating. I fall in love every time I am in this place. We will try, together with the participants, to create pathways to this place which I consider the most vital state there is.
I am not interested in making people laugh, I am passionate about the human being, functioning, problems, brain, capacities, limits, generosity, emotions; more generally, it can be summed up by saying: the inner dynamics. The focus will be metamorphosis: a fundamental element of creation in the arts in general, but especially in clowning.
The teaching path includes:
Very intense basic physical training.
Development of Clown consciousness
Guided Clown and unClown improvisations.
Specific training.
Creation of a Clown performance.
Tears and smiles.
It is possible to take trial lessons from 12. September to 17. October.
ATTENTION: Regular training season starts on 7. November. That means that the group will be closed.
To participate in ClownLAberlin, you must have attended the 'Playing, Listening, Clowning' - The Workshop. You can attend the workshop in Berlin in October or in January-February.
