1. BOUFFON/CLOWN WORKSHOPS - TORONTO
------------------------------------ 
2 WEEKEND WORKSHOPS WITH ADAM LAZARUS

Bouffon Weekend: April 11-13/08

In the tradition of Master Teacher Philippe Gaulier, the aim of Bouffon
is to expose social hypocracies while making audiences love you.  They
are the world's satarists - Borat, Dame Edna and Stephen Colbert.
Mocking everything, good and bad, students will be introduced to the
bouffon form, learning to find the pleasure of making fun.  The weekend
is for everyone - artists and non-artists alike.   

Clown Weekend: April 18-20

The Clown is the maximum of a performer's pleasure to be on stage. This
is NOT for the birthday clown! It is for those who want to share their
beautiful spirit.  The clown loves to share his idiocy, ridiculousness
and failure with the world. This is how students will learn to stay on
stage, find their own clown and play.

1 Weekend:$190/$150/Union
2 Weekends:$350/$280/Union
