I will be leading a two-day Clowndance workshop, hosted by the University of Derby's wonderful MA in dance and choreography, but open to all East Midlands Dance Artists' Network members and friends. If you're in the East Mids, and you include dance or movement in your professional or personal practice or studies, then this is for you!
These two workshop days will introduce key ideas and approaches drawn from my research and professional practice, which exists at the meeting points of contemporary dance and theatrical clowning. We’ll explore the state of playfulness in our bodies, find complicity and make mischief with each other and the audience, enrich improvisation by following collective pleasure, and discover practical techniques for building comedy into choreography. Dates and Times: Mon 20th and Tuesday 21st 10:00 – 14:00 Location: Déda, Chapel St, Derby DE1 3GU The workshops and location are accessible and inclusive, click here for venue details Email me for more information or if you have any questions. The workshops are free to attend as they form part of my ongoing doctoral research. I will ask for your consent for the sessions, including your contributions, to be written up here on my research website and in my PhD thesis. This may include photos, videos and written reflection. All student participants will be anonymised using pseudonyms, and you can withdraw your consent at any time. Full ethics information sheets and consent forms will be given to all participants.
