PROPOSAL:

This workshop is like an engine. A bunch of classical clown exercises in wich you will find the way to train all your clown “muscles”. One by one these different classically clownish situations will allow you to move your clown body and soul to expand them, fix them, transform them, tone them, developing your ability in listening on the present (you, your partner/s, the space around you, the objects, the audience), transforming the stimuli received by the clown into action, building games and making them grow.
