How many times have you had a close shave with death, or found yourself in a complicated situation, about to lose your poise, manners or reputation? You’ve probably lost count, right? Because life, others, and we ourselves are far from perfect.
Clowns are well aware of this, they’re constantly encountering difficulties, but their tragedies are wonderfully comic. Sadly though, when we clown, we often don’t make the most of all the problematic situations that arise. Our natural tendency is to attempt to get out of the tricky situation unscathed and as quickly as possible. We resist making things worse.
In this Masterclass, you’ll discover how much fun, and how much funnier, it actually is to “jump from the frying pan into the fire”. The first step is learning how to instantly recognise all the situations that could lead to a monumental mess. Don’t worry, without much effort your clown will soon “put their foot in it”, due to an act of stupidity, thoughtlessness, emotional venting, transgression, and so on. But once your clown opens up the window of possibility, you will have to conscientiously stoke up the fire, make the situation evolve into the “worst possible scenario”.
The worse, the better! is an invitation to transform your instinctive rejection of difficulty into a a comic embrace, where you can remain in a playful, creative and joyful space while providing exciting and wacky entertainment for an audience.
