CHAOS CLOWN (Barcelona)

Clowns create universes. And, to create these universes, many times they are supplied and nourished by objects, things, little things, materials, devices, belongings, duffel bags, etc., etc. and (many times, a very loooong) etc.

Understanding the difference between the different types of gadgets that clowns can work with helps to have more freedom in the creative processes.

Conceiving different ways of approaching work is always beneficial.

And, this time, the idea is that those materials are the ones that serve as an inspiring springboard.

PROPOSAL

The proposal of this seminar is then, to investigate different objects, accessories and materials chosen by each clown @ or by myself. 

That each one can start their own universe from contact with these objects, using and combining them in different ways. That the links between clowns are also crossed by those objects. That the ideas arise from the investigation of the objects and not the other way around, letting them be the guides and starting points of the action.

OBJECTIVES

The use of various objects and materials as a clown expression tool and as the main inspirational point.
