Being Bad: A 2 Day Intensive Clown Workshop with Piotr Sikora
A two-day clown workshop with Piotr Szczęsny Sikora, creator of the punk-rock comedy show, Furiozo
The workshop aims to learn how to better make friends with our lack of being perfect, the part of us that is completely unfunny and funny, and learn to play with this imperfection, to use failure as a beautiful gift from the world.
This workshop helps you connect with this creativity and discover the pleasure of being yourself, when everyone is looking at you... Sounds scary? Only a bit, but mostly it is pure fun.
The course is intended to familiarise you with being yourself on stage, taking more risks both on stage and in life. A bit like learning to fall – when you know how to fall – you risk more, make different moves, and increase the range of your possibilities. It’s the same with the Being Bad course – through seemingly embarrassing practice situations, you learn exceptional stage and life sensitivity. You will learn that the most interesting things are when you don’t know.
