Kristen Schier - Play with all the Things: An Intro to Theatrical Clowning (District Improv Festival Workshop)
Find out how to use yourself and everything around you as a vehicle for pure play, and spontaneous theater. In front of an audience we can sometimes close ourselves off. We prevent ourselves from following our joy. Daring to be seen by the audience at every moment, will, in turn, reveal a whole world available for play. Allowing yourself to be exposed will open you up to celebrating your own stupidity, interacting with the audience and taking more risks. This workshop is perfect for those interested in unlocking playfulness, becoming more aware of how they are perceived by an audience, and anyone interested in clowning or developing solo work.
For participants: Please wear dark colored clothing that you can move in, without patterns or logos. No flip flops or heels please.You are welcome to go barefoot. We will be looking at the way the body moves, so we don't want the eye drawn to or distracted by the clothing or the way you walk radically influenced by your footwear.
