Playing Like a Child

Playing Like a Child

This workshop aims to discover elements of clown in each participant. We will train the ability to go to a place of imagination and play, allowing us to access the best we have within us to play, to have fun and to share that fun with people who are partners on stage. 
We'll use exercises and music to let go of our everyday defences and allow our minds to relax. Unveiling our clown persona, our greatest ally to take us to a place of play and imagination.
More than just acting on stage, we're going to play together, where we'll let our imaginary worlds emerge and discover what stories are hidden there.
