IT’S BACK!
Play is joy! Melissa will guide you on a journey to expand your imagination and find play in the mundane.
This workshop will:
– give a taste of introduction to clown work
– teach you how to incorporate clown elements into your performances – whether solo and/or in group
– give you tools to heighten play using physicality (within your capacities) and explore the magic of tapping into the small joys in the everyday!
LET’S PLAY!
PRE-REQUISITES: Some improv, clown or sketch comedy performance experience is beneficial but not required.
Suitable for improvisors, stand-ups looking to explore their stage presence, sketch comedians or anyone that wants to add a little more joy into their day-to-day.
