"How do I perform now what I planned earlier"
Bring together your clown material and the live audience response.
How do I perform now what I planned earlier? – keeping your in-the-moment responsiveness while performing an already created piece.
How do we bring together your own particular way of clowning (your stupidity and craziness) with careful crafting and composition of performance material?
This practical workshop brings together the focus of the other two workshops. We will work with your planned material while responding to real audience behaviour.
You will practise holding onto the plan without becoming rigid, and letting the audience (and yourself) change the performance without losing the structure.
It’s about navigating the gap between what you thought would happen and what actually happens.
