-day workshop exploring physical theatre and the comic universes with Fun in the Oven's director Andrea Jimenez Garcia

Time: 1pm - 5pm

About the workshop
This workshop is for anyone with an interest in exploring their own comic potential, and offers a platform to explore a state of simplicity and vulnerability that will entice the expected and the hilarious. The participants are invited into a space of playfulness where having fun is at the centre of the creative process.
Playfulness is a state of Flow, where we become less self-conscious and more receptive to the pleasure of being completely in the now and in creative contact with ourselves and the others.
We will analyse movement principles like action and reaction, balance and off-balance, push and pull, and levels of physical tension. The understanding of these principles is vital for any performer/actor interested in creating original work within a character, a play, a choreography or a dramatic space.
Each day consists of introductory body work and body training, followed by solo or group improvisations.
Taking part
Participants must commit to both days and places are secured once you have paid.
We acknowledge that not everyone can afford the fee to participate but Fun in the Oven are passionate about sharing this amazing opportunity to bring more clowning and physical theatre skills to the region. As such, we can offer two funded places. If you would like to apply for one of these places please send a CV and a short paragraph (no more than 200 words) to [email protected] outlining why you would like to take part.
