A three day workshop with Natasha Holmes at Greentop Circus Centre.
On: November 30th - 2nd December, 10am - 4pm.
Bouffon is an artform that originated in medieval times but really came into its own during the renaissance period. It's where the "ugly" people or social outcasts (due to physical deformity etc) were invited to perform for the entertainment of the "beautiful" people at festivals or at special religious events.
Dark and grotesque it is a wonderful artform to explore as a performer. Finding out what your devilish joys are; and who you are best at sending up? Could this be the basis for a new and exciting circus or performance character?
Full of energy, wit and humour the bouffon is a fantastic device for both theatre and circus. Great bouffon clowns have graced Cirque du Soleil, and Kneehigh amongst many others. As part of Greentop's "Transform" Professional Artistic Development Programme.
Cost: £120 / £105 members
Give us a call on: 0114 244 8828 to book your place and for more info.
