Join improvisers Duncan Young & Elise Wilson for a ton of fun this OUT Loud Festival weekend!
In this Ensemble Clown workshop, we'll be focusing on Major/Minor skills, developing the ability to intuit when it's your turn to be in the spotlight, or when to be a supporter, and how to be as effective as possible in both roles. We believe strongly that sharing focus is one of the most important building blocks of any effective team, whether its during a performance, or even just having a group conversation.
All the while we'll be digging into the clowning toolbox and building skills such as making big silly choices and allowing the audience to love you for your bravery and vulnerability instead of how clever you are, listening to the audience effectively so you can discover what they want more (and less) of, and how to listen to your body to ensure you're making choices that YOU are having fun with.
It'll be a fun, silly day with all your old and new friends!
"I haven't laughed that much since... well I can't remember the last time i laughed that much" - lots of people who have taken our workshops
