My workshops are an invitation to explore the art of clowning from an introspective and emotional approach. Participants delve into the world of clowning, not just as a comic character but as a vehicle for authenticity and emotional connection.
Through games, improvisations, visualisations, and movement, we explore the innocence of playing and being transparent like children, and the experience of connecting with our vulnerability as adults. We wear the nose to be seen, and thus laugh at our imperfections, contradictions, desires, quirks, and everything that makes us unique.
They are aimed at those over 18 years old, actors, artists, performing arts professionals, or anyone interested in connecting with their creativity, improving their emotional and physical expression, and learning to trust more in their imagination and spontaneity.
I can offer a two-hour introduction or longer workshops that can be a whole day, a weekend, or weekly classes.
My training includes physical theater, mime, clown, masks, improvisation, body psychotherapy, and social education. Since 2010, I have collaborated with Moving Pieces in theater and mental health. Between 2014 and 2019, I coordinated with the Theodora Foundation, training smile doctors. Since 2013, I have worked with Egintza in workshops for socially excluded youth. My experience as a facilitator is diverse.
Mi enfoque My approach to clowning is deeply influenced by the Pochinko technique, which in English is known as Clown Through Mask. This technique was created by Richard Pochinko and later developed by Sue Morrison in Canada and Jonathan Young in the United Kingdom. Additionally, my work is enriched by the teachings of other masters like Mick Barnfather (from the Ecole Philippe Gaulier), Caroline Dream, Jonathan Kay, and Jamie Wood.
