About this Workshop:
You may have seen shows like "Whose Line is it Anyway?" or perhaps you've seen some other improv shows in the Baltimore area.
In this workshop, experienced clown practitioner and improviser Matt Kaiser introduces the concept of "clownprov!"
So what is clownprov?! It's not putting on whiteface, funny wigs and big shoes like you may have seen at the circus!
In this 2 hour workshop, you'll learn that clown comes from INSIDE. You'll learn how to see things from a clown point of view, and be able to think as a clown may think. For the first hour, we'll explore the world of the clown, and interact with no or very few words. Then, we'll combine this with improvisation for the second hour!
This event is best suited for adults. No experience necessary in either clowning or improvisation, this is open to beginners.
