Clown Through Mask - Jonathan Young
Mon 22 > Fri 26 Jan 10am > 5.30pm

A mask is magical because it reveals what is normally hidden. This intensive, playful week is an introduction to Richard Pochinko’s pioneering Clown Through Mask Work: a synthesis of Native North American and European clowning traditions. Through making and wearing masks that personify different aspects of our self, we fully embody our humanity – both ridiculous and beautiful. The personas and worlds discovered then act as a guide to us when performing, allowing us to go much further than we could alone. Over five days, we explore presence and colour, innocence and experience, with each person making, wearing and performing with their own mask.
The course will benefit both younger and more experienced performers (no prior knowledge of clowning needed), who are open to working through the body, voice and imagination. Jonathan Young (Shams Theatre) is an experienced teacher, performer and creator of devised work, and recently collaborated on Inspector Sands’ Hysteria.
