Online Elective: Fundamentals of Stupidity with Britt Pay

Stuck for clever things to say on stage? More importantly, do you think fart jokes are funny? We will explore performance that is unashamedly silly; celebrating moments where everyone is laughing, even if no-one knows why. Drawing on traditions of clowning, we emphasise the power of simple gestures, responsiveness to the audience and developing scenes intuitively. This workshop will focus on making sure that everyone is having fun and being generous on stage.
