Present
Physical Comedy & Clown with Mark Jaster and Sabrina Mandell
2-Day Weekend Intensive for TEENS: January 18th & 19th, 10am - 5pm
@ Submersive HQ (Home to Submersive Productions) 3523 Buena Vista Avenue, Baltimore MD, 21211
Ages 13-17
We will enter a playful laboratory to learn about comic performance, with exercises in stillness, reaction, focus, clarity of movement, performing as an ensemble, understanding the theatre space, and making things up as a group, illusion, physical characterization, duo and trio status, the inclusion of the audience, and clown. Mark draws on his training with Étienne Decroux and Marcel Marceau. Sabrina draws on her training with Dody DiSanto in the LeCoq pedagogy and almost two decades of experience as a theatrical clown. Their complementary approaches combine to address nuts-and-bolts physical, technical and structural skills and the more esoteric issues of honesty, presence and accessibility.
