1.TWO WEEKENDS OF COMIC MAYHEM WITH SUSAN BERTOIAM- VANCOUVER
------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------
Explore the roots of physical comic acting including improvisation,
comic business, comic... timing, through Commedia Dell' Arte and mask
work with professional performer Susan Bertoia.
Level I is a great intro to comic mask theatre. Open yourself to the
possibility of funny; that is, physical funny. Commedia Dell\' Arte is a
form of mask theatre that has been around for centuries. The Commedia
stock characters and humorous situations are ones we can all relate to.
Commedia is the foundation for clown, vaudeville and the sitcoms of
today. Warning: Be prepared - this class may bring out the comedian in
you!
In Level II you will have the chance to 'take it to the streets.' Often
studied but rarely understood, this workshop is a great way to discover
the lively nature of the Commedia.

6. 2 ONE WEEK INTENSIVES IN THE BOUFFON WITH ADAM LAZARUS - TORONTO
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------
These 2 one week workshops are designed for students to discover their
own pleasure to play and to mock common social hypocrisies through "Jeu"
a French performance style encouraging performers to use their sense of
play while onstage when approaching dramatic or commonplace situations.
By building your skills in improvisation, instinct, song, dance, and
most of all, audience awareness, your own method of satire will emerge
for the world to see.
This workshop is for professional and emerging artists interested in
Bouffon, and artists who want to overcome performance inhibitions.
Games and exercises are used to discover your own jeu in mocking social
hypocrisies while simultaneously making audiences love you. Through
Jeu, students will re-discover their mental and physical agility,
sensitivity, stillness and complicity in a group. The Bouffon will
allow the actor to be a big person in a small body and to refine their
awareness of the world around them. Students are encouraged to embrace
this awareness and the power of being seen and listened to.
ABOUT THE CLASS:
Working in the tradition of French Bouffon/Clown Master Philippe
Gaulier, the workshop first begins with the study of Jeu and then
progresses into building Bouffon characters and turns, culminating in a
final public showing. In addition, actors will have daily work on
building spatial and body awareness. Specialized instructors will
teach: le jeu, acrobatics, movement and make-up.
