CLOWNS @ S BY NATURE (Chascomús)

With a nose or without a nose. In the theater, in the circus, in the street, in the cinema. Mud @ so charlatans. Placid or tumultuous. Elegant, daft, monochromatic, multicolored, titanic, tiny, sticky, subtle. Clowns and clowns stand, firm and flexible at the same time, in front of those who are about to look at them. And they build incredible bridges, on which they walk, run, dance and jump, carrying and bringing multitudes of things, the most beautifully diverse. They work to invite those bridges, to create ties (perhaps ephemeral, perhaps eternal), to soak up everything that happens, at that precise moment, to transform it and infect those who accompany them.

They live at that midpoint between the most real of the person who embodies them and the most fictitious of the character they represent. At that midpoint between pleasing themselves and pleasing other people. In that journey between the tragedy that gives them momentum and the comedy that rescues them.

They give us back the necessity and the preciousness of error, of the imperfect. And the power of the possible.

I love clowns.

And, in this state of affairs, I feel they are essential. 

We will work by looking at the basic principles of the technique:

Contact with the public, with one's own emotions and with the here and now.

Frailty, failure and exposure.

The game / The imagination.

The translation of impulses into actions.

.Projection and availability on stage.

Improvisation from slogans (in solos, duets and trios)
