Dramatic Foolery: The Paradox of Comic Acting taught by Drew Richardson (Drew the Dramatic Fool)
In an effort to provoke deeper laughter, it’s often the case that the more serious you are, the funnier you are. No irony, no wackiness, just you, trying your imperfect best in absurdly real situations. In this workshop, Drew will guide the participants with tragically comic exercises using clown, mask, and movement to express their own dramatic foolishness and then use what they learn to create character-based theatrical comedy. For people who don’t think they are funny, actors/performers who want to be funnier, or anyone who wants to explore sincerely playful creative problem solving.
