BOOK:
Physical Comedy Workshop.....
How do we write funny with our bodies? What
is the key to creating laughter? We will explore these questions and others in
this physically engaging and energetic session. We aim to extend your skills no
matter your current performance skills/limitations.
This workshop will begin to explore comedy
through the perspective of the clown - the ultimate physical performer. You
will be introduced to the power of mime, gestures, double takes, ‘failure’,
solo and partner work, rhythm, reactions and timing. Feeling happy to share
your language and thoughts with each other is a key part to clowning and
generating a dynamic relationship with others.
So stop thinking and maximize your physical
comic potential. Give voice to physical humour and expression. Create a context
and make short funny pieces using physical games and activities.
Suitable for both experienced and beginners
- actors, comedians, poets, dancers and those who want some space to explore
their individual physical style.
Join us and have fun whilst writing comedy
with your body.
