Discover your inner clown through play, movement and improvisation.
Led by Andii Lytvak, this engaging workshop introduces participants to the fundamentals of clowning and acting in a welcoming, supportive environment. No previous acting, circus or performance experience is required.
Through simple games and guided exercises, Andii will help participants become more comfortable on stage, connect with their partners, develop focus and discover their own natural comic personality.
The workshop is designed to encourage creativity, spontaneity, confidence and honest stage presence. Participants will explore how to respond to the unexpected, communicate with an audience and transform simple situations into performance.
