This class focuses on developing physical comedy. You will discover the natural comedic impulses within you by working through commedia, mime and clown style improvisational exercises. (All the “Mime” you'll ever need to know.)
The workshop helps you explore spontaneity, timing and the basic fundamentals of physical comedy.
