May 17 - Research of Character Montreal, Quebec, Canada

You don�t create your clown; you simply let it out to live in front of others. A workshop for those who want to discover their clown character by working on: simplicity, sincerity, lightness and vulnerability of play. The art of Clown demands that the actor commits emotionally, with great generosity and knowledge of himself. The clown has to be able to laugh at himself before he can make others laugh. The work proposes a series of exercises that develop openness, pleasure, creativity and being able to listen to your own emotions
