Finding your clown: play, vulnerability and connection with the audience
The clown is not a character that is invented, but a part of us that is revealed when we dare to play for real. In this workshop, Mooky Cornish proposes a work focused on presence, listening and the pleasure of play. Through improvisation exercises, physical dynamics and stage situations, participants will explore their personal comicness, learn to embrace failure as an opportunity and discover how to turn mistakes into their best allies.
