Let’s soften our brains, open up our hearts and shake up our bodies! This workshop starts with precursor exercises to the pursuit of our uniquely individual clowns down the road, as we necessarily welcome a sense of play and imagination back into our work. We will attempt to begin melting that top layer of the iceberg that is your socially-conditioned selves. We will invite your generous openness, ferocious abandon, insistent honesty and gleeful mischief to make a larger footprint in your work. Perhaps you will sweat. Perhaps you will make songs. Perhaps you will listen deeper and harder. Perhaps you will release some glorious laughters and cathartic tears into the ether. Perhaps this all will be silly. Perhaps this requires you to breathe and believe. Perhaps you will make something disastrous and messy. Perhaps you will make something wonderful and surprising. Though hopefully you can reignite a teeny-weeny sparkly inkling to lead from the bravery, integrity and generosity of your child within so that muscle of freshness, vulnerability and ferociousness can show up in your scenes to come.
