St. Norbert Arts CentreBaby Clown Intensive Workshop, Jan. 13-28 BABY CLOWN INTENSIVEinstructed by John Turner
This 16 day workshop (over 100 hours) is based on the Pochinko technique (Baby Clown). Richard Pochinko was a Canadian visionary who developed a style of creative exploration drawing on three traditions: American circus clown, European clowning and North American Aboriginal mask work. This workshop is not just for performers. Performers, writers, musicians, dancers, therapists, teachers, health care workers, carpenters, business people and more have benefi ted from the creative-horizon-expanding nature of the course.Games and exercises are used to awaken and encourage a sense of pleasure, an awareness of one’s immediate environment, and an honest response to internal impulses and external events. Individual creativity is explored with colour work and body work and the making and wearing of six masks. These masks mark out the playground for the clown (creative self), guiding the participants through their innocence and experience, extremities and normalcies, culminating in the “birth� of their individual clown.This workshop is an intense blast and furnishes the student with a malleable structure for continued creative exploration, with limitless applications.
