Discover the transformative power of clown in this immersive workshop led by Mycah Hogan. Tiny Bullseye invites participants to embark on a journey of self-discovery, tapping into their innate senses of joy, vulnerability, creativity, and love. Through improvisational exercises and analysis, participants will identify individual movement patterns, amplify them, and learn to embody their unique clown state.
Open to practitioners of all ages, levels of experience, and disciplines, this workshop welcomes diverse participants, from actors and directors to comedians, aerialists, and beyond. No prior clown experience is required – just a willingness to reclaim a sense of child-like wonder, a desire to laugh and collaborate with like-minded idiots, and to revel in the poetry of both the ridiculous and your poetic power.
Over three days, participants will learn how to create original clown material, build a number or a scene, validate and amplify generative concepts, and build community through performance-making. The workshop also covers fundamentals such as the use of costumes, props, lighting, and sound, as well as more advanced concepts like writing tools, devising games, group dynamics, dramatic structure, physicality, and music.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be equipped with the tools to take their material from early conception to production, applicable in any kind of performance space, from purpose-built theaters and cabarets to various stages, circus tents, and street corners.
