Oh yes we
will...
Why, oh why, oh why
would anyone wish to act the fool/be stupid - or ridiculous?
Feedback from my classes indicates that people overwhelmingly want permission
to play and be silly. Oh yes they do!
However, does what you look like or how you behave, or what people think of you
impact on you - if so then how?
On the whole... the answer for many is a resounding YES! But not for the people
in my classes; as my courses are structured to gradually let people open
up. I love it – and so do they.
M: I really enjoyed it. Forget how essential play is
J: Like the playfulness –
sound and language
Z: Enjoyed permission to
laugh, be silly. Amazing variety
T: I enjoyed being here.
Loosening up and exploring a different side of myself
C: I enjoyed being an
inanimate object
J: Allows me to be more
playful. Escape from concentrating and administration
D: Like being
experimental and playful
Z: Really enjoyed
listening to everyone’s pieces. Gave me permission to be silly
I always say, you can't do anything wrong in this
class. It applies to me too. I accidentally ended the online comedy workshop
last night within 30 minutes, by pressing end the meeting instead of leave the
breakout room. Oh the chaos and laughs. Oh the clown in me!
The show last night was simply superb - thanks everybody - you were hilarious.
Smashing together clowning with comedy writing is coming soon – in fact,
Saturday 25 `June at The Phoenix, Exeter.
Chance to up your skills in writing and performing or a fab opportunity to
build confidence, resilience and a toolkit for wellness.
