What makes it funny? What makes it repeatable?
This four hour workshop will tackle those two questions while we explore physical comedy from a clown point of view. Expand your physical vocabulary, develop tools for playing comedy using the techniques of slapstick, improvisation, partnership, comic timing, and accidents in solo, due and group exercises.  Through active games and dynamic exercises we will build short pieces of material using these skills.
Performers of all levels and disciplines are welcome!  Limited to 14 students. 4 hours.  

(but wait, there's more! Just added a Part 2 the following Monday evening, March 28th 6-10pm ifyou want to add on 4 more hours.  Sign up option for Part 2 will show at checkout)
