Want to make your character unforgettable no matter what you're doing on stage? Want to get more laughs and more love? Don't call it clown, but that's what we're doing.
This workshop takes the participant through a journey based in modern clown work to hone an electrifying performing presence, rooted deeply in who you are, that the audience can't get enough of. We will learn about your unique connection to the audience, your mission, and your special brand of vulnerable ferocity.
Connect with your audiences like never before, and make them love you forever.
In this workshop, expect the following:
The beginning, or the deepening, of a presence that is uniquely yours and unstoppably lovable, and actual tools and material you can take out of this intensive and onto a stage
Personalized feedback (and plenty of it)
Discovery and exploration of your physical/emotional "sweet spots".
More understanding of what “stage magnetism” means for you, and how to really harness your performative power.
