HOW FUN CAN IT BE TO MAKE NO SENSE?

In this experimental clown/improv workshop, we will explore absurd language as an avenue for play. Through clowning games and improvisational exercises that use invented words, dubbing, translation, babbling, and sound effects, we will explore what special kinds of fun can emerge when we turn our legibility down to level zero while keeping our dignity turned up to level 10.

No experience required! However, participants will be asked to improvise, collaborate, work quickly, and embrace moments of uncertainty—so the more ready you are to dive in, the more we can play, fail, and discover together as a group. Come play!
