Clowning With Jetzo - Search For The Truth!
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
Let's be honest: making people laugh feels amazing. But there's a danger in focusing too much on that end result. It can cause a performer to rely on cleverness, avoid silences and dismiss choices that feel vulnerable. Clowning is rooted in truthfulness. Our sincerity serves as a counter-balance to the absurd and gives every show a sense of purpose. This workshop will show you how to start from a truthful place, emotionally and physically. Forge a real connection with your audience, take them on a journey and create surprising opportunities for bigger laughs.
This workshop is for INTERMEDIATE students with at least one year of experience in improvisation. No clowning experience necessary. Limited to 14 students. Pricing reflects limitied class size.
PLEASE NOTE: Refunds are only available until 7 days prior to this workshop.
INSTRUCTOR BIO:
Jetzo is unlike anything you'll find on the improv scene. Equal parts performance art, clown and improv, Juzo and Chad perform in costume as a father and son from a small fishing village. Every show is their debut in America. They break every rule of improv and heavily involve the audience. They are always accompanied by a "musical cousin" -- who might be playing anything from a guitar to bongos to a harp.Jetzo plays to standing room houses twice a month as part of the indie show Catsby, as well as having done regular shows at Second City, The Pack and The Improv Space. They are also heavily involved in clown productions at the Lyric Hyperion, under the direction of international clown star Dr. Brown.
The San Francisco Improv Festival presents top-notch Improv Training from all over the country. This workshop is just one of the many great offerings in the 2018 festival. For more information, visit www.sfimprovfestival.com.
