With Deborah Dooby-Doo!
Harnessing the power of play to revolutionise thinking. Pointing out the ridiculous in the every day, the personal and the political. Clown Power leads participants through exercises in improvisation & playfulness, on to performance techniques to shape sketches for an audience.
The two days will culminate in a sketch-sharing evening.

THE APPROACH:
The training will cultivate: the imagination and the expressive body. Throughout, participants will be invited to identify their unique responses to the themes and exercises. And develop their own original material for their sketches.
Using specific games and exercises to:
- Enable participants to get in touch with physical relaxation and connection.
- Bring the inner imagination into the body/ physical movement.
- Re-awaken playfulness and imagination.
- Explore how two clowns can create an imaginary world together.
- Enquire how the state of clown can comment on the human experience & todays world.
- Explore the audience performer relationship.
