Bodies are awkward. Life is difficult. Failure is icky. Let’s share these tragedies with one another.
Clowning for Dancers is an exploration of personal joy, play and presence designed for dancers, movers & physical artists. In this workshop, we will unlock the ridiculous, embrace the weird and come to terms with the realities of the present moment, flops and all! Clowning as a training tool for dancers can help us get out of our heads and back into the room; it helps us relate to one another while giving us permission to try without worrying. Plus: we’ll be dancing!
