Mandagsklovn – professional Theaterclown course

4 Mondays from 7:00pm – 9:30pm (19:00-21:30)

A course about the exploration and the development of the various possibilities of being a theater Clown. The teacher is the maestro, actor, and art director Antoine Innocente, from CUT (University Theater Center) in Trieste, Italy. From his inexhaustible wandering around the world, maestro Antoine Innocente brings his surrealistic and dreaming approach to the theatre arts.

In Mandagsklovn, we work on:
• free and technical improvisations
• the “neutral” position
• awareness of our own body, ways to use it in the play of the scene
• listening to our own rhythm, timing, action and reaction
• developing a character and costume
• observation of oneself and others and working with makeup

A personal and collective experience coming from the comic theater, the theater clown, interpreted through physical, experimental and performative theater, in search of one’s own clown.

About the body, the process of discovery, and the creative process.
