This course brings the weird and wonderful world of clowning into improvised comedy!

We will play with 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.

Throughout the class we develop our own clowning for improv show format and then show it off in the end of class show!
