Discovering the Clown led by Christopher Bayes

The Player's Theatre
New York, NY

Jump into your body...open like a little flower...rediscover your playful spirit and the simple pleasure and ferocious generosity of performance. In this intensive workshop we pursue the clown together in all of its messy and hilarious beauty. Your relationship to all other forms of drama will be enriched by the openness and reckless abandon that the clown requires. Admission is open to all students.

Christopher Bayes began his theater career with the internationally acclaimed Theatre de la Jeune Lune where he worked for five years as an actor, director, composer, designer and artistic associate. He has taught classes and workshops at Cirque Du Soliel, Williamstown Theatre Festival, the Public Theater's Shakespeare Lab, the Big Apple Circus, Interlochen Arts Center, Vassar College, Stella Adler Conservatory, Bard College, Fordham University, University of Texas Graduate Acting and Directing Programs, National Shakespeare Conservatory, University of Minnesota Graduate Acting Program, the Guthrie Theater, Iowa State University and Theater de la Jeune Lune. He has served on the faculty of the Juilliard Drama School, the Actor's Center (founding faculty & master teacher of physical comedy/clown), Yale School of Drama, the Academy of Classical Acting at the Shakespeare Theater in Washington D.C., New York University's Graduate Acting Program and Tisch School of the Arts. His most recent position was that of Clinical Professor of Theater, Speech and Dance at Brown University and Director of Movement at the Brown University/Trinity Repertory Theater Consortium in Providence, RI. In June, however, he threw caution to the wind once again and packed up his family and all of his nonsense and headed back to New York City. He has accepted a full time appointment at the Yale School of Drama where he will begin as Head of Physical Acting in the summer of 2007.
