To participate in this workshop, you must have previously participated in at least one initiation workshop and have a basic knowledge of clowning.
 

In “How to get into trouble” your clown will stumble into endless problems, difficulties and predicaments, but he or she will transform them into opportunities to prove your ingenuity, resilience and buoyant sense of humour.

A workshop specially designed for clowns who want to explore in depth this wonderful comic device. Also for those who want to change the way they perceive the problems of real life. Clowns face them with good humor, creativity and lightness.

"If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month." - Theodore Roosevelt.

We’re only human, and difficulties are inevitable. Clowns however, being the most human of humans, have more than their fair share. They’re habitually encountering not just one, but a whole succession of complications. Yet they don’t lose heart, even though they themselves are often the ones creating the problem and exacerbating it. Control their emotions? Avoid trying to demonstrate their physical prowess, pass up the chance to pretend to be someone they’re not or know something they don’t? Never! 

Strangely enough, the trouble that your clown gets into on stage will be very similar to the troubles you yourself encounter in life. Each clown, therefore, has their own personal style of getting into trouble. Your style will be influenced by your personality, the way you relate with the material world or with others, or the limitations and obsessions you have.

In this workshop you will learns:
 

• Enjoy the trouble you naturally get into.

 

• Increase your ability to find and play with problems.

 

• Avoid falsity or contrived movement.

 

• Be surprised by a problem and use your creativity to resolve it.

 

• Express what you’re feeling, dissimulate or go completely crazy when faced with a problem.

 

• Create huge disasters.

 

• Make use of the vast comic potential that getting into trouble offers you.
