This event has passed.

This class continues Saturday's workshop.  Four hours is such a short time with so many elements to play with. We will continue the exploration started in Part 1 and keep going as far as well can. Part 1 is a pre-requisite for Part 2. 
4 hours, 6pm - 10pm

 

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.

Hilary Chaplain is one of the founding members of the New York Goofs. They performed together in New York’s Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Symphony Space.

Revealing the humor in everyday life, she has been called “ferociously talented”.  Read more about Hilary at www.hilarychaplain.com.

From Seattle’s own Lara Lee Rasberry: "That hour with you made ALL the difference. You are an incredible director and it was such an amazing experience for me to immediately sense your talent, and expertise and that I could really let go and trust what you had to say."
