Cluppetry

Opposable Thumb Theatre will be leading a short, sharp shock workshop in ‘Cluppetry’
What’s ‘Cluppetry’? you ask.
Well it’s a heady mixture of clown & puppetry.

Together Adam Blake (Open Attic and Wyldwood Arts) & Dik Downey (Pickled Image and Green Ginger) will impart years of experience in clowning and puppetry in one big , experiential blob.
We take classic clowning workshop exercises and age old puppetry techniques and chuck them into a theatrical blender and marvel at the ‘Cluppetry’ that emerges.

These workshops will incorporate clowning games such as status hierarchy, imitation/exaggeration and embracing your failures, as well as looking at the intricacies of puppetry, like breath, focus and movement. Then we examine the role of puppeteer versus clown, clown as puppet, puppet as clown and everything in between. This workshop are very informative to both clowns and puppeteers, giving insight into each-others profession and arming the participants with new transferable skills.

This workshop is designed for either creative professionals or for people with limited or no previous theatrical experience, just an appreciation of the silly and the profound!

The workshop will be held in English.

Du kan velge mellom kun Workshop kr.600,- eller Workshop pluss festivalpass kr.750,-.
