With Deborah Kaufmann
Inspired by the teachings of Richard Pochinko,
Canadian clown master teacher
"If we face the six directions of self, we can't help but laugh at the beauty and ridiculousness of all that we are." -- Richard Pochinko
This investigation is an inspiring way for the artist to make direct connection to aspects of his/her true self. In the spirit of physical discovery and playfulness we will visit our childhood room, experience a bittersweet goodbye, and find the personal meaning in the colors of the rainbow.
Then we will each make six masks: North, West, South, East, Above and Below. We will connect to and physicalize each direction and then create a clay mask. The masks are explored and a character is developed for each one. All six characters are combined to create a persona that is unique, with a deeply personal mythology and imagined environment that can be used for exploration and the development of new material.
For artists in all disciplines and the seriously curious.
March 21 through April 22, 2010 (First Day of Spring to Earth Day).
Sundays and Thursdays; 5 weeks
March 21 3-8 pm, Then Thursdays, 6-9 pm, Sundays, 4-7 pm
Brooklyn Studio
$500
“It's a dream to find a teacher who combines a sharp directorial eye, intuition as a clown, and a deep knowledge of techniques and material.
--Tanya Solomon, clown and burlesque performer
