Being Funny Clown workshop w/ Adam Paolozza

“The clown doesn’t exist aside from the actor performing him. We are all clowns, we all think we are beautiful, clever, strong, whereas we all have weaknesses, our ridiculous side, which can make people laugh when we allow it to express itself. “

-Jacques Lecoq

…

Why do we laugh? What makes us? How does it happen?

Using games, exercises and improvisation we will explore:

- le jeu (comic play)

- playing with your vulnerability to find your own clown

- comic rhythm and timing

- comic acrobatics (prat-falls, hat tricks, working with funny objects etc.)

- finding the comic in the everyday situation

The clown allows us to look at ourselves, with all our strengths and weaknesses, and laugh!

It is an invaluable technique for performers of all disciplines who wish to improve their presence, timing, balance and to find the pleasure of being onstage.

It is for those who wish to take a risk, be vulnerable and open themselves up to the moment.
