Every Tuesday for 8 weeks This course brings the weird and wonderful world of clowning into improvised comedy. We take clowning and improv exercises that help us develop a more playful and responsive style to our performance. As well as exploring show formats that could be taken to the stage. This workshop will help you: - Bring more play, physicality and props into your improv - Give the audience more of what they want by listening and responding to them more - Be okay with breaking the rules in order to follow the fun - Discover old and new improv show formats that benefit most from these techniques We do this by looking at various concepts such as: - Game - The flop - Fixed point - Major / minor - Audience sensitivity - Breaking the rules Throughout the class we develop our own clowning for improv show format and then show it off in the end of class show!
