You may imagine that you are never dishonest or untruthful (unlike others of course). But maintaining this self-deception on stage will only hamper your ability to be funny. Because obvious, playful and creative liars make audiences laugh, whatever their age… and we are in fact, all well practiced in the art of lying!
Clowns have to tell tall tales more often than most because they don’t take into account the consequences of their words, actions or behaviour. Without apparent difficulty, they find themselves in all kinds of awkward situations, where their only way out is to resort to pretense or fabrication. Of course, the clown’s futile attempts to hide their tracks are extremely comical, largely due to their incredible inventiveness.
In this Clown Workshop, we will pay tribute to our enormous capacity to tell fabulous fibs and to the long-standing clown tradition of using blatant dishonesty to provoke the audience’s laughter. We'll go over the skills that the conspicuous comic liar must master: the body language, emotional contortion, rhythms, pauses and timing. And we'll explore how to use them to maximize the comedy. We’ll also cover the five seasoned tactics that clowns use to avoid being punished when the inevitable happens… when someone confronts them with their lies and demands the truth.

In general, becoming an adult reduces our ability to hear the call of pleasure and to express the joy we’re feeling, especially in situations where we are not expected or supposed to do so. Clowns, on the other hand, not only hear that call but heed it, no matter what the circumstances, openly relishing all the delicious sensations for the benefit of their audience.
As clowns then, we have to reverse any ingrained habits of suppression so as to never be at a loss as to how to answer the all important question: “What do I want to do now?” Through listening to, and following our desire for fun and joy, without a doubt, we’ll end up in surprisingly comic places.
In this Masterclass, we'll dust off your pleasure compass so you know exactly where your needle is pointing at all times. I will invite you to enjoy publicly, not only the pleasant surprises and strokes of fortune; but also your evil plans, your superior capabilities, your irrepressible sensuality and your amazing ability to fool, swindle or cheat others. You’ll also see how opening the tap on happiness expands the emotion in all directions, within yourself and within your audience.
