Amadan Ensemble’s regular training programme giving participants the opportunity to explore their inner clown is back this Autumn. Clown personifies happiness & optimism; they meet every catastrophe with a smile & are delighted in the face of every flop.
Led by Gemma Mae Halligan & Jude Quinn, combining their extensive experience in Clown and devised theatre, every session will begin with a short physical meditation to prepare our bodies & minds before using games & exercises to explore your Clown. The training will focus on:
- Play – letting your mind run free into true spontaneity & creativity
- Resilience & Confidence – being able to remain optimistic & joyful amidst certain disaster
- ComplicitĂ© & Receptivity – being open to the audience & any unforeseen occurrence
- The Uniqueness of You – discover what is uniquely funny & special about you
This programme will build your confidence in front of an audience & help you accept confusion & spontaneity with grace. Clown Lab is open to all arts practitioners in any stage of their practice/career and irrespective of their discipline as well as those outside the arts industry.
This iteration of ClownLAB will be a three day workshop from 10am – 6pm. Book your ticket online through the Lyric Theatre website to secure your place.Â
