Clownesque Techniques, Physical Theatre & Political Performance with Glasgow Kiss
Saturday March 15 & Sunday March 16, 10am - 5pm
Carnival Arts Centre, 34 Albion St, Glasgow
please email jampaz@riseup.net to book a place
throughout the weekend, we are hoping to touch on a variety of techniques, including elements of the Rebel Clown training, other clown techniques, physical theatre and perhaps forum theatre. It will be challenging & is for people who want to explore different ways of using our bodies and minds for nonviolent civil disobedience and creative colourful ways of alternative living. And it will be interactive - not just “us” teaching “you”, but us all going through an exciting group process together. And of course it will be a weekend full of joy, outrageous silliness and frivolous fun. Bring on the Carnival!
And the training is only the beginning… It is meant to stimulate an excitement in creative activism, to be explored further in subsequent practice. We’d like to develop a think tank on how to effectively apply these techniques in social, environmental & political activism - we will be having an open meeting on this at the end of the workshop.
Let’s start now - if you want to take part in the weekend and have any ideas or hopes about what you want to get out of it, please email us!
We could perhaps extend the weekend until Sunday evening or Monday morning to all go out together and putting play into practice. To be followed up by more weekends like this to go deeper? - exciting potential!
- please remember to book a place so that we get a rough ideas of numbers, and please come only if you can make the full weekend training. if you can’t make both days for exceptional reasons, please contact us.
- the training is absolutely free! Only bring your enthusiasm. If you need a place to stay in Glasgow overnight, let us know & we’ll try to work something out
