Francine Côté Method
Clown 4:
Method of Creation
“Clown art is not a series of gags. The gag is just the
punctuation at the end of a comic sentence. Rather, it is the
sentence itself that is comical and contains the force of the
laughter. ” -James Keylon
CLOWN 4: Creation method is designed for those who want to go
further in creation by working on their character, the structure
of the solo or in a duo. We deepen the technique of physical
acting, emotion-movement-text, as well as the structure of the
scenario. We also develop the principles of major/minor play as
well as relationship aspects within a clown partnership.
Participants are called upon to work from structured
improvisations with more autonomy. They will master the
repetition and the creation of solo or duo numbers using
canvases. They will come out of this workshop with concrete work
tools that will allow them to continue to evolve in their clown
research. Following the Clown 4 workshop, participants are ready
to move on to the Clown Lab directed by Jean Saucier. >.
Note: It is not necessary to register with a partner to
participate to the workshop. Duos can be formed on site under
the guidance of the teacher.
