One-day clowning for improvisers workshop with Charlie Jackson!
This workshop 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
